PHOENIX -- Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson moved Miguel Montero down to eighth in the lineup, hoping it would give him a spark, playing a hunch that he might come up in a big situation. He was right on both counts. Hitting before the pitcher for the first time in two years, Montero hit a tiebreaking homer off the right foul pole in the eighth inning, helping the Diamondbacks beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Friday night for their fifth straight victory. "One of the things when youre hitting eighth is that you have to tell yourself you might come up in a situation where you can do something good, which he did," Gibson said. "It was huge for us." The Diamondbacks struggled most of the night against Phillies starter Tyler Cloyd, managing two hits off him in 6 2-3 innings. They came through when he went out, though, scoring on a run in the seventh when Martin Prado broke a 29 at-bat hitless streak with runners in scoring position, then taking the lead when Montero hit the first pitch thrown by Mike Adams (1-3) in the eighth that curled toward the foul pole in right and just caught it. Tony Sipp (2-1) got two outs in the eighth inning and David Hernandez worked out of a jam in the ninth for his first save, sending Arizona to its sixth win in seven games. "I knew the ball was gone, but you have so much bad luck that I was running around and was like, wow, I cant believe that ball is going to go foul," Montero said. "I was fortunate enough to hit the pole. It feels great to help the team because Ive been disappointed in myself not being able to the ball the way I wanted." The Phillies jumped on Kennedy early, starting with Rollins 44th career leadoff homer that tied him with Brady Anderson for fourth all-time. They scored another run in the first inning, but struggled the rest of the way against Kennedy and couldnt score against Hernandez with runners on second and third with one out in the ninth. Laynce Nix made the second out in the ninth with a soft infield pop-up and Hernandez ended the game by getting Rollins to ground out to first. "We broke through, but we made some mistakes," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "At the same time, we got four hits in that (first) inning but we didnt capitalize on better opportunity then we didnt add on during the game." Kennedy has laboured since beating St. Louis on Opening Day, allowing four or more runs three times during a six-game winless streak. The right-hander lost to San Diego after allowing four runs in seven innings in his last outing and got off to a rough start against the Phillies. Rollins hit the first pitch of the game out to right for his 44th career leadoff homer, matching Brady Anderson for fourth all-time. Domonic Brown followed a walk and another hit with a run-scoring single that put the Phillies up 2-0. Kennedy found a rhythm after that, allowing a single in the second inning and no other hits until Ben Revere led off the seventh with a single. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom half after allowing two runs on six hits with four strikeouts. "It was his best outing of the season, especially those last two innings," Gibson said. Cloyd was just as good. The right-hander pitched six games for the Phillies in 2012, going 2-2, and opened this season in the minors. He was called up to start against the Diamondbacks after Roy Halladay went out with a shoulder injury. Making his season debut in one of baseballs most hitter-friendly parks didnt seem to bother the 25-year-old. In the first inning, Eric Chavez lined a double to the right field corner off him and Paul Goldschmidt just beat John Mayberrys throw after running through -- almost literally -- third base coach Matt Williams stop sign. Cloyd had the Diamondbacks guessing after that, working around a pair of walks in the fourth inning with a double play and allowing no hits until Cody Ross hit a one-out flare single to left in the seventh. He was lifted after that, but didnt figure into the decision because Ross tagged up on Jason Kubels long flyball to get into scoring position and scored on Prados run-scoring single off Antonio Bastardo. Cloyd allowed two hits and struck out four, but is headed back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Right-hander Justin De Fratus will be called up to take his spot on the roster. "They told me no matter what happened tonight, they were going to end up sending me down," Cloyd said. "I have to go down there and keep going, keep myself in a position to come back up and help them out again." Notes: Rollins leadoff homer gave the Phillies 14 straight solo shots. ... Phillies RHP Roy Halladay, whos out with a shoulder injury, thanked Philadelphias fans for their support before Fridays game and apologized to the ones who were angry that he pitched while hurt. "I just want the fans to know Im thinking about them," he said. "I dont take that for granted. I dont take playing for Philadelphia for granted." ... Arizona right-hander Trevor Cahill, who will start against the Phillies on Saturday, has allowed four runs in 20 innings (1.80) his last three starts. ... Left-hander Cliff Lee will start for the Phillies after allowing two runs in eight innings against the Giants his last start. David Luiz Jersey .

A game in the Rockies that could help clear up the South Division and a marquee nonconference matchup headline this week in the Pac-12.Heres what to look for:---GAME OF THE WEEK: Arizona State at Colorado. The Pac-12 South Division picture should become a little clearer after Saturdays game in Boulder. The winner will have a chance to stay in the race with Utah, the loser will have an uphill climb. The Sun Devils (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) were just outside the AP Top 25 this week after knocking off UCLA last week. Arizona States defense knocked around Bruins quarterback Josh Rosen and its secondary, the weak link most of the season, held up fairly well in the 23-20 victory. Colorado (4-2, 2-1) moved into the rankings last week for the first time in 11 years, but lost to Southern California 21-17 despite forcing four turnovers. Arizona State is 7-0 all-time in the series, averaging 47.8 points per game the last five meetings.BEST MATCHUP: Stanford at Notre Dame. Both teams have had their share of struggles this season, but this is still a matchup of marquee teamss that were highly ranked early in the season.dddddddddddd The Cardinal (3-2) won last years game 38-36 at home, though the Irish ran for nearly 300 yards and held Christian McCaffrey to 94 yards rushing. Stanford has been blown out its past two games while Notre Dame struggled out of the gate. But no matter the deficiencies, these teams figure to put on a show.INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Arizona State K Zane Gonzalez kicked three field goals last week to break the NCAA record with 89 for his career. ... No. 5 Washington, which has a bye week, is 6-0 for the first time since 1992. Oregon and California also are off this week.IMPACT PLAYER: USC QB Sam Darnold. He threw for 358 yards and 3 TDs against Colorado last week, becoming the first Trojans freshman to eclipse 300 yards in consecutive games since Todd Marinovich in 1989.---Compiled by AP College Football Writer John Marshall---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '
