Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Carlos Gomez scored the winning run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, as Milwaukee overcame Arizona, 2-1, in the rubber match of a three-game series.

Gomez, a pinch runner for Aramis Ramirez who worked a leadoff walk against Patrick Corbin (2-4), broke for second, but a wild throw by Arizona catcher Miguel Montero sailed into right field. Justin Upton's throw to third then one-hopped third baseman Willie Bloomquist and skipped into the stands, and Gomez was awarded home to end the game.

John Axford (2-5) picked up the win with a scoreless top of the ninth.
