MLB: Texas 9, Arizona 8 (12 innings)

PHOENIX, June 26 (UPI) -- Back-to-back home runs by Chris Davis and David Murphy in the 12th inning Thursday gave the Texas Rangers a 9-8 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona tied the score at 6-6 with two runs in the eighth on Ryan Reynolds' second home run of the game to force extra innings and added two runs in the 12th but couldn't complete the comeback for the win.

Davis hit a two-out, two-run home run off Esemerling Vasquez (1-2) and Murphy followed with a shot that landed near Davis's blast over the wall in right-center field and made the score 9-6 in the top of the 12th.

Arizona's Miguel Montero's delivered a two-out bloop single that drove in two runs but Jason Jennings, getting his first save, got Ryan Roberts to ground out to make Eddie Guardado (1-1), who had pitched the 11th, the winner.

Arizona grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Reynolds' first two-run homer of the night but Texas answered with a three-run third with a pair of Diamondback errors and a bases-loaded walk getting the runs home.

Andruw Jones gave the Rangers a 5-2 led with a two-run home run in the fifth. Arizona drew closer with a run off a wild pitch in the sixth and both teams scored single runs in the seventh to make the Texas lead 6-4.
