BALTIMORE -- Mark Trumbo breathed some life into the Baltimore Orioles postseason hopes.Trumbo led off the 12th inning with his major league-leading 44th home run, and the Orioles rallied from a late two-run deficit to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Friday night.After getting swept in a four-game series by Boston, the Orioles remained a half-game behind Detroit for the ALs second wild card.This is the type of game you definitely want to win because it can be a real gut punch if it goes the other way, Trumbo said.Baltimore trailed 2-0 before Pedro Alvarez homered in the eighth off Enrique Burgos and Matt Wieters homered against Daniel Hudson leading off the ninth.Oliver Drake (1-0) pitched a scoreless 12th for his first big league win. Matt Koch (1-1) relieved to start the bottom half and Trumbo sent his first pitch over the left-field fence, setting off a celebration. It was Baltimores sixth walk-off home run this season.They did a great job of battling back and tying the game and we did a great job of stopping them from winning the game a couple of times, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. We had some great plays. We left a ball up there in the middle of the plate for Trumbo and we know what he can do with it. Weve seen it before.Baltimore, which stranded 14 runners, nearly won the game in the ninth. J.J. Hardy tried to score from second on Adam Jones single but was called out after the throw from left fielder Brandon Drury to catcher Welington Castillo, a play upheld by video review.I thought he was safe, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. The only thing they could have possibly said that they werent sure J.J. got there. The guy tagged him with the glove and had the ball in his throwing hand. Youve got to help me with that one. Im sure you all saw the same thing we did. Another head-shaker. Weve had quite a few of them this year.Arizona built a lead against Yovani Gallardo on RBI doubles by Jake Lamb in the first and Jean Segura in the second. Gallardo has allowed 22 runs in the first inning this season.You never want to have a start in that way, giving up a run in the first, giving up a run in each of the first two innings, Gallardo said. Its going to happen.Arizonas Shelby Miller allowed just three hits in six innings and remained winless since June 20.Against a lineup like that, in a tough ballpark to pitch in, its always tough to throw zeroes, Miller said. And to get a good outing like that against that team . really the biggest thing was we made a lot of good plays on defense.DOMINANT BULLPENSix Orioles relievers -- Darren ODay, Brad Brach, Mychal Givens, Zach Britton, Tommy Hunter and Oliver Drake -- each threw one scoreless inning.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke did not travel with the team because of shoulder stiffness.

Jordan 3 Retro Nz . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. OXON HILL, Md. -- The big-spending Boston Red Sox could be far more conservative this offseason because of baseballs new luxury tax rules.President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Monday that the new collective bargaining agreements stricter penalties for spending above a certain payroll threshold could factor in to the teams plans. His top priority is to find an eighth-inning reliever and also add another bat, but dont expect him to throw money around to make it happen.The Red Sox had $209 million committed to player salaries last season, fourth in the majors. Dombrowski didnt guarantee Boston would be under the $195 million mark for 2017 but would like to try to avoid the extra penalties in place moving forward for going over.There are definitely reasons why you dont want to go above, Dombrowski said. Some of them involve now for the first time differences in draft choices and sacrifices of money to sign players and that type of the thing. ... I think were going to have a good club either way.Dombrowski, who announced that the club picked up the 2018 option on manager John Farrells contract, was known for making big deals during his time running the Detroit Tigers. At the winter meetings he has heard a lot of names but less interest in young players like Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr. now after winning the AL East than a year ago when Boston finished in last place.If the right trade came along, Dombrowski would listen, but he said hes not going to make a deal just for the sake of it. He hasnt closed the door on bringing back Brad Ziegler or Koji Uehara but would like to get a setup man any way we could find one -- either through trade or free agency.Mark Melancon agreeing to a $62 million, four-year deal with the San Francisco Giants set the market for closers like Kenley Jansen and Aroldis Chapman. Dombrowski would like for his eighth-inning acquisition to have closing experienced but said its not a necessity.The first order of business was committing to Farrell, who helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 2013 and led them back to the playoffs last season. Dombrowski inherited Farrell whenn he took the job in the summer of 2015, and this is a sign of confidence in the veteran manager.ddddddddddddWe had a conversation a little bit yesterday and it got a little bit personal where he walks in, hes inheriting a manager and a chemo plan, said Farrell, who was diagnosed with lymphoma more than a year ago.AL Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello likes that Farrell exudes calm and consistency.Boston can be a tough city to play in and when you hit those lows throughout the course of a season, where you lose a couple of games, it gets frustrating and it gets emotional, and you need to have a leader that can provide that stability and allow you to go out there and just focus on performing and winning ballgames on a day-to-day basis, Porcello said. John does a really good job of keeping us away from those distractions and just focusing on playing on the field.While Dombrowski implied that hed be surprised if the Red Sox didnt bring in another hitter this winter, Farrell pointed to the return of third baseman Pablo Sandoval as a major factor.As I look at the lineup for next year, one of the keys for us is going to be Panda, Farrell said. And thats not to put it all on him, but heres a left-handed bat that is a proven guy and has every opportunity to make a major impact on our team next year.Dombrowski described Sandovals conditioning as very good and said the 30-year-olds shoulder was good to go. Boston wants Sandoval at third base because the club would like to rotate the designated hitter spot around after the retirement of David Ortiz.That means the Red Sox arent itching to spend big money on a player who is primarily a designated hitter.Were in a new era, Farrell said. I love the fact that weve got the flexibility that we do with so much roster versatility. ... The more we can rotate guys through, get them off their feet on occasion would lend you to believe that we would keep guys a little bit more fresh deeper into the month of October.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum contributed to this report.
