ATLANTA, May 15 (UPI) -- Yunel Escobar lifted a sacrifice fly that brought home Jordan Schafer in the ninth inning Friday, giving Atlanta a 4-3 victory over Arizona.
Stephen Drew hit a solo homer in the top of the ninth to lift the Diamondbacks into a tie, but the Braves came back to get a run and hand Arizona its fourth straight setback.
Schafer singled with one out in the ninth against Tony Pena (3-1) and Kelly Johnson then drew a walk. Omar Infante singled to load the bases before Escobar delivered his game-winning fly ball.
Mike Gonzalez (2-0) got the win with one inning of work despite giving up Drew's homer.
Atlanta rallied from an early two-run deficit and took a 3-2 lead in the third on a solo homer by Chipper Jones.
