The Arizona Diamondbacks defied the odds on Monday night, rallying from behind twice to record a walk-off win and stun the Texas Rangers in extra innings.
Ketel Marte tied the game for Arizona in the bottom of the ninth inning with a home run off of Aroldis Chapman.
After Nathaniel Lowe put the Rangers ahead with a two-run double in the 11th, Arizona rallied from behind again with two doubles of their own and won on a two-run hit by Tommy Pham.

For much of the game, the Rangers were in full control.
They took their first lead in the top of the seventh inning when Adolis Garcia went deep.
They also got an eight-inning performance from lefty Jordan Montgomery, who didn’t allow a run.
The graph shows that up until the bottom of the ninth, the Rangers were in command, but that the win probability ultimately shifted in Arizona’s direction following Marte’s home run.
Things evened out in the 10th inning, but when Texas regained the lead, the win probability shifted in their direction.
However, the game was far from over, and soon, the D-Backs shifted the tide again.
Win probability measures a team’s chances of winning based on the current game situation.
Just when it seemed as if the Rangers had the game won, things fell apart for them and the D-Backs rallied.
But the graph ultimately shows just how wild the finish was in Arizona last night.
