Turn the beat around

For the first five innings, it was business as usual for the Diamondbacks. Or at least the Diamondbacks as they have been recently: lacking a drive to win, lacking an offense and lacking confidence on defense. Then something changed. Maybe whatever it was was brought in with the winds that swept through Shea Stadium. Whatever it was, the Diamondbacks did something they haven't done in a long time.

They rallied.

Down 5-1 in the fifth, Orlando Hudson slapped a two-run homer. In the sixth, the littlest ballplayer, Augie Ojeda had a crucial two-run RBI to tie the score. A 61 minute rain delay didn't slow the Dbacks' charge. I don't know what was said inside the clubhouse last night, but the Diamondbacks were determined to win.

Chris Snyder hit the go-ahead run in the eighth. Not wanting to be left out of the fun, Baby Drew had a two-run homer in the ninth and Gravity had a solo shot of his own.

Down by four runs on the road, the Diamondbacks played like a team leading its division. And man, was that fun to watch.
