Pittsburgh -- The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired catcher Chris Snyder from Arizona Saturday for outfielder Ryan Church, infielder Bobby Crosby and pitcher D.J. Carrasco.

Also going to Pittsburgh in the deal was infielder Pedro Ciriaco and cash considerations.

Snyder is leaving the Diamondbacks after seven years with the club. He was batting .231 with 10 homers and 32 runs batted in through 65 games for Arizona this year.

Church, also a seven-year veteran, was traded for the second time in two years after signing as a free agent with the Pirates in January. He is batting .182 with three homers and 18 runs batted in over 69 games for Pittsburgh this season.

Phoenix -- Chris Snyder singled in Justin Upton with one out in the 14th inning Wednesday, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets.

Upton led off the bottom of the 14th with a double. After an intentional walk and an out, Snyder -- the last position player on the Arizona bench -- was inserted as a pinch-hitter for pitcher Blaine Boyer.

He hit the second pitch he saw from Fernando Nieve (2-4), home-run distance but just foul. Three pitches later he lined a single to left center that allowed Upton to score.

Pittsburgh, Aug. 6: Alex Romero touched off a five-run 12th inning with a two-run double Thursday, lifting Arizona to an 11-6 victory over Pittsburgh.

The Diamondbacks swept the three-game series and have won five in a row.

Arizona rallied from a three-run deficit in the late innings, then outlasted the Pirates despite wasting scoring chances in the 10th and 11th. The Diamondbacks put their lead-off batter on in the 10th and had the bases loaded with just one away in the 11th without scoring.

Pittsburgh also had runners on first and second with nobody out in the 11th but failed to come up with the key hit that would have won the game.

MLB: Arizona 12, Kansas City 5

Kansas City, Mo. June 18: A two-run homer by Mark Reynolds and a bases-loaded triple from Stephen Drew Wednesday helped carry Arizona to a 12-5 battering of Kansas City.

The Diamondbacks ended a three-game skid by getting to starter Zack Greinke and then beating up on the Kansas City relief corps. Greinke (8-3), who won eight of his first nine decisions, has allowed 31 hits and 15 earned runs in his last 26 innings.

Arizona had only a 4-2 lead going into the seventh inning and two of those four runs were unearned thanks to a pair of Kansas City errors in the fourth.

Greinke, however, gave up a one-out double to Drew in the seventh and Reynolds hit his 18th homer of the season.
