PHOENIX -- On a night when Arizona ace Zack Greinke left early with tightness in his oblique muscle, the Philadelphia Phillies finally won another series.Greinke departed after two innings and Philadelphia rallied with two runs in the ninth inning to beat the Diamondbacks 4-3 on Tuesday night, ensuring the Phillies first series win in their last 13.Andres Blanco had an RBI single and Frank Howard drew a bases-loaded walk off closer Brad Ziegler (2-3), who blew his second save in his last three tries after converting 43 in a row. Maikel Franco homered for Philadelphia.Greinke, in search of his 11th win, hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to score a run in the second and left after a few warmup pitches before the start of the third.Manager Chip Hale said there was no way he was going to risk his prize pitcher worsening the injury.Its something maybe he can maybe miss a start, possibly not miss a start, possibly at worst maybe 15 days on the DL, Hale said. You never know. But if you go out and really yank it bad, youre talking about a month or two, so well hope for a best-case scenario.The Phillies last won a series May 16-18, against Miami.It reminded me the way we played the first two months of the season, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. We stayed in the game, scratched and clawed and eked out a win. That is the way we did it for two months.The Phillies have won four of six since snapping a nine-game losing streak.It helps the team mentally, Blanco said. It is not always loss, loss, loss, loss. This time we have been playing good the last six or seven games. Even though we lost a couple on San Francisco we have been doing pretty good. `Hector Neris (2-3) pitched a scoreless eighth to get the victory as the Phillies won a series for the first time in 13 tries. Jeanmar Gomez tossed a perfect ninth for his 21st save.Home runs by Yasmany Tomas and Jake Lamb put Arizona ahead 3-2 entering the ninth. Jimmy Paredes pinch-hit double started the ninth-inning Philadelphia uprising.Greinke allowed a run in the second inning on consecutive singles by Freddy Galvis, Cesar Hernandez and the pitcher Jerad Eickhoff. In the bottom of the inning, Arizona loaded the bases with no outs but the only run they scored was on Greinkes sacrifice fly to left. Greinke figures he hurt himself with that swing.When the Diamondbacks pitcher walked back onto the field to start the third, he looked at the dugout and called for the trainer. After a short huddle with umpires, Greinke went into the dugout to rub some heat ointment and emerged a moment later.He threw a few warmup pitches off the mound, didnt feel any better and left the game. Greinke hasnt missed a start since 2013. Greinke was 7-0 in his previous eighth start.I was pitching pretty good for a while and felt really good today, he said. Hopefully its nothing major -- well find out more in the next couple of days -- and hope its nothing much at all and (I) just continue pitching good.Francos two-out solo shot off Randall Delgado in the fourth put Philadelphia up 2-1. Arizona tied it 2-2 when Tomas led off the sixth with his home run. Lambs homer in the seventh put the Diamondbacks up 3-2.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray said he was fine and would be ready for his next scheduled start Sunday against San Francisco. Ray left Monday nights 8-0 loss to Philadelphia with a blister on his left middle finger.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Zach Eflin (0-2, 6.28 ERA) gets the start as the Phillies try to complete a three-game sweep of the team that swept them in four games in Philadelphia a week ago.Diamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley (3-3, 4.50 ERA) makes his career-high eighth start of the season as the Diamondbacks look to salvage the final game of the series in a Wednesday afternoon contest.

Nearly a decade after his AFL playing career ended in heartbreak, Nathan Buckley still curses Jimmy Bartels genius.It is an unprecedented week for individual milestones in the league, with Bartel to play his 300th game and teammate Corey Enright to break the Geelong games record with his 326th.Former Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich will reach the 350 mark and North Melbourne legend Brent Harvey sets the AFL all-time record with his 427th match.Bartel is renowned for his heroics in tight situations for the Cats.Buckley vividly remembered Bartels crucial role in the 2007 preliminary final win over Collingwood.The Magpies nearly pulled off a massive upset, but Gary Ablett snapped the goal that put the Cats back in front.In the frantic moments between Abletts goal and the final siren, Buckley sat on the interchange bench with a hamstring injury and watched Bartel ensure that Geelong would win.I have an issue with him, because in my last game in `07, Geelong beat Collingwood by five points and we were coming quite hard, Buckley said on AFL360.There were three stoppages in a row with about a minute to go on our 50m arc.The hitout came down to him and then he ran directly at the closest Collingwood bloke and then lockked the ball up - three times.ddddddddddddIt was clear it was intentional, but he knew the rules, he understood the nuance of the game, how it was being umpired, what neede to happen and he got it done.It was frustrating, but you had to admire what he was doing and I reckon hes done that in nearly every game hes played, in some shape or form.A week later, the Cats broke their 44-year premiership drought with a record grand final win over Port Adelaide.Buckley ended his outstanding playing career without a flag and now coaches the Magpies.He and Cats coach Chris Scott also paid homage to Harveys career.Hes one of those rare older players who seems to have maintained his speed, Scott said.If anything, he has gotten better as the game has evolved.He seems to fit the modern game as well as anyone.Buckley said Harvey had the rare ability to match personal ambition with team needs.Thats usually the thing that gets you - you either get too self-interested about your own opportunities, or you sacrifice absolutely for the team, he said.Hes been able to balance that really well - its remarkable.
