DIAMONDBACKS 2, A's 1

PHOENIX - Justin Upton hit a tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics yesterday.

Upton drove a 3-2 delivery from Keith Foulke (0-2) into the pool area in right-center field to open the eighth. Upton, who was 2 for 13 on the Diamondbacks' six-game homestand, also doubled and scored Arizona's other run in the fourth, on Chris Young's sacrifice fly.

Tony Pena (1-1), the winner, pitched a scoreless eighth. Brandon Lyon got three outs for his 15th save in 17 chances, and his 14th straight.

After scoring 15 runs in the series opener, the Athletics mustered a total of two in the final two games, both losses.

Oakland struggled against lefthander Doug Davis, making his sixth start since returning from cancer surgery. Davis retired 11 in a row from the second to the fifth, striking out four straight at one point.

Jack Cust drove in Oakland's run with a single in the sixth.
