Goldschmidt homers, scores winning run in Arizona's 4-3 win - USA TODAY
SEATTLE (AP) — Nervous at the start, Jake Lamb coolly helped deliver a winning finish to his first major league game back in his hometown. Lamb's sacrifice fly in the 10th inning scored Paul Goldschmidt with the go-ahead run, and the Arizona Diamondbacks pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. Lamb, a Seattle native who played collegiately at Washington, left 50 tickets for family and estimated he had 90 total supporters in the stands at Safeco Field to see his first professional game at home. "I was pretty nervous that first inning, but after that first (at-bat) I took some good pitches, got the walk and that kind of locked me in," Lamb said. Goldschmidt continued his stellar season with his 22nd home run in the first inning off Seattle starter Mike Montgomery. Castillo, who was with Seattle for all of two weeks earlier in the season before being traded to the Diamondbacks, added his eighth homer with a drive deep to left-center. Goldschmidt's homer was just his third since June 18. Arizona was one out from winning in the ninth, but Mike Zunino lined an RBI single on a 0-2 pitch off reliever Oliver Perez (2-1) to score pinch-runner Chris Taylor with the tying run.
