PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks stormed back from down 4-0 to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 at Chase Field on Saturday, putting up a five-spot in the ninth inning to complete the comeback.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. delivered the game-winning sacrifice fly to right field off Trevor Megill, scoring Geraldo Perdomo to even the series. It was the Diamondbacks’ first walk-off win of the season.

A Gabriel Moreno walk started the rally, and Alek Thomas put a jolt in the building with an RBI triple deep to right-center field.

Garrett Hampson turned over the lineup with a clutch walk, and Corbin Carroll smoked a double to score both baserunners. With one out, the Diamondbacks — who had been 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position — put the tying run on second base.

Perdomo continued the string of quality at-bats with a walk, and Jake McCarthy stepped in.

McCarthy, who started the year 0-for-24, lined the game-tying single into right field, and Perdomo raced around to third base.

Milwaukee intentionally walked Josh Naylor to pitch to Gurriel, who lifted a high fastball into right field.

Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin Burnes made his home debut and delivered a quality start. The right-hander tossed six innings with three earned runs on Saturday, striking out three batters against his old club.
