4/22/13: Giants rally late and walk off in the ninth









Ross can't grasp how he made diving grab

ARI@SF: Ross lays out in the corner to rob Posey

SAN FRANCICO -- Cody Ross still is not sure how he did it.

The D-backs outfielder raced toward the right-field line and made a diving catch of Buster Posey's drive in the sixth inning of Monday's series opener against the Giants at AT&T Park.

It wasn't that he was able to get to the ball, but that he was able to hang onto it given that he caught it with the palm of his glove and the momentum of his dive caused him to slap the glove face down into the ground.

Several different replay angles showed that Ross was somehow able to keep the ball off the ground.

After the game he checked the video just to be sure.

"I watched it," Ross said. "And I still don't know how I hung onto it."

Snake bites

• Third baseman Eric Chavez did not think the ball he hit in the sixth inning Monday night was going to reach the seats.

"I just assumed it was a double," Chavez said. "I was just running and I couldn't see what was going on until I rounded second and I saw the umpire [signaling]. I just assumed it was going to be a double."

Instead the ball somehow carried into the bleachers in left-center.

• Injured outfielder Jason Kubel (quad) ran on a treadmill submerged in water Tuesday while injured shortstop Willie Bloomquist (oblique) played three innings in the field during an extended spring game.

Neither player is expected back within the next 10 days.

• After a rough spring, D-backs lefty Matt Reynolds has been one of the team's best relievers.

Reynolds has not allowed a run in his eight appearances spanning 9 1/3 innings and has held lefties to one hit in 13 at-bats.
