Almost There: Arizona On Cusp of R3 Triumph After 7-5 Win
Despite a great performance by Atlanta starter Matthew Spurrell, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Braves by the score of 7-5 at Turner Field today. Spurrell threw 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball, but he couldn't prevent the Diamondbacks from moving one game closer to the World Series. Arizona now leads the League Championship Series 3-1.

Arizona used the clutch hitting of Jason Peck to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Diamondbacks ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Arizona manager Jose Quintana.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Turner Field in Atlanta.
