Diamondbacks 2, Pirates 0
PITTSBURGH — Chris Young hit a two-run homer in the eighth for the Diamondbacks, who ended a three-game skid. Arizona had lost five of eight since winning 15 of 17. Reliever Micah Owings legged out a one-out infield single. Then Young pulled a 2-and-0 pitch from Chris Resop just inside the leftfield foul pole. The Pirates failed to move above .500 this late in the season for the first time in 12 years.
