TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ The Arizona Diamondbacks scored four runs in the eighth inning to overcome two homers by Larry Walker and beat the Colorado Rockies 9-6 on Wednesday.

Jeff Manto hit a solo homer in the top of the eighth to give Colorado a 6-5 lead.

Arizona responded with consecutive singles from Erubiel Durazo, Lenny Harris and David Dellucci off Mike DeJean to begin its half of the inning.

Delucci's single tied the game and Damien Miller's sacrifice fly gave Arizona the lead. Luis Ordaz and Hanley Frias added RBI singles.

DeJean allowed four runs and six hits, while getting only two outs. Greg Swindell got the win and Jim Corsi earned his first save of the spring.

Colorado took a 5-2 lead after Walker's two-run homer in the fifth. He also hit a solo homer in the first.

Arizona tied the score in the seventh as Turner Ward doubled in one run, and then scored on a single by Bernard Gilkey up the middle.
