vPHOENIX -- Paul Goldschmidt seems to do it all for the Arizona Diamondbacks. It had been nearly two years since his last game-ending homer, though.He had the big hit Monday night, connecting to lead off the ninth inning and lift the Diamondbacks over the Atlanta Braves 9-8.He homered off John Gant (1-3), sending an 0-1 pitch deep into seats in left field and helping Arizona overcome a five-run deficit and a two-homer night from Freddie Freeman.Arizona had its largest comeback win since June 3, 2015, when it bested the Braves after being down by six.This was Goldschmidts fourth career walkoff homer and sixth game-ending hit.The tendency in a tie game or extra innings is try to hit home runs. We have played some extra inning games and that has just not worked out for me and Im sure for most guys, Goldschmidt said. Its nice not to have to take home a moral victory, get an actual one.Freeman hit a solo homer off Enrique Burgos (1-1) to tie it in the ninth.Welington Castillo hit a two-out bases-loaded double during a four-run seventh that put Arizona ahead 8-7 after it trailed 5-0 in the second.All four runs came off Arodys Vizcaino. Michael Bourns single drove in Jean Segura to make it 7-5, then Goldschmidt singled and one out later, Yasmany Tomas walked. Castillo then lined a 2-0 pitch into the gap in left-center to clear the bases.Ive said it all year, these guys have battled, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. We have gone through some tough times. We have fallen behind. I have never thought theyve given up. I always tip my hat to them.Tomas hit a two-run homer in the third, giving the slugger homers in four straight games at Chase Field. Hes the fourth player in club history to do that.Freeman and Adonis Garcia each hit two-run homers while the Braves scored the first five runs. Freeman, with three hits on the night, raised his career average to .400 at Chase Field with 50 hits, including 12 home runs.I love this place, Freeman said. I like it more than Colorado. I think its the batters eye. You just get in that box and you just feel good. You see everything.Freeman returned to the lineup after missing Sundays game with a finger injury. He also doubled and scored three times.Fingers good. Felt good. Didnt know what to expect, just seeing what was going to happen, he said. Decided to be aggressive on my first at-bat and got the first one (home run), and that calmed everything down after that.Nick Markakis had three hits and an RBI. Mike Foltynewicz pitched six innings and allowed four runs and nine hits, striking out seven.Atlantas big lead disappeared with Chris Owings RBI single in the bottom of the second, Goldschmidts sacrifice fly in the third and Tomas home run, trimming the Braves lead to 5-4. But Atlanta scored twice in the top of the fifth with Markakis single and Chase dArnauds sacrifice fly to take a three-run lead.Arizona starter Zack Godley allowed seven runs in five innings. He allowed nine hits, walked three and struck out three.WELCOME BACKFormer Diamondback Ender Inciarte, the Braves leadoff man Monday, received a round of applause and a few cheers upon being announced to start the game. Inciarte and former Arizona top prospect Dansby Swanson, traded to Atlanta for Shelby Miller in the offseason, were in Mondays lineup. Inciarte had two hits and scored twice.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: IF-OF Jace Peterson was scratched from the lineup after crashing into a wall making a catch Sunday. He reported soreness after going shoulder-first into the center-field wall at Turner Field and was replaced by dArnaud at second base Monday. Peterson remained in Sundays game and hit a game-ending homer in the 10th.Diamondbacks: OF A.J. Pollock is expected to be activated from the disabled list later this week. Hes yet to play this season while recovering from a broken right elbow.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Rob Whalen (1-2, 5.73 ERA) is scheduled to pitch against Arizona. Hes never faced the Diamondbacks in his career.Diamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley gets the call for Arizona. Hes 4-8 with a 5.04 ERA and will be making his second career start against the Braves.

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title.

"I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement. Jose Cardenal Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.

Orel Hershiser Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dames Big Three got the season started Saturday in a convincing way.Bonzie Colson had 23 points and nine rebounds, V.J. Beachem tied his career-high with 22 points, and fellow tri-captain Steve Vasturia added 16 to power Notre Dame to an 89-64 victory over Bryant.The Irish used an 18-2 second half run, capped by Rex Pfluegers 3-point play, to turn a single-digit lead into a 22-point advantage in a span of five minutes.The `Big Three led the way, said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey. That was good because it was a hard game.Notre Dame, which is coming off back-to-back Elite Eight runs in the NCAA Tournament, was just 3 of 16 from beyond the arc but hit 26 of 29 (89.7 percent) free-throw attempts.I love what we did from the foul line, Brey said. I think we can be right up there nationally.Nisre Zouzoua led Bryant with 19 points. Freshmen Sebastian Townes chipped in 16 points and Adam Grant had 13 before fouling out. The Bulldogs turned it over 13 times and shot 41 percent from the field.We were able to hold ourselves very competitively for a good portion of the game, said Bryant coach Tim OShea. It got away from us a little bit, but it was more of a function of how good Notre Dame is. We made some mistakes, but we werent overwhelmed.Known as a shoot-first 3-point threat, Beachem was a perfect 7 of 7 from the foul line, a result of his improved ability to drive to the basket rather than settle for jump shots.That was something I was focused on in the offseason, putting the ball on the deck, Beachem said. That was something I was hearing feedback on after the (NBA) draft process, so its something that I have to make a concerted effort to do rather than just spot up and shoot 3s.Colson scored on a variety of moves down low, but also stepped out and knocked down a 3-pointer, showcasing his offensive versatility.Hes an amazing gguy, with a nose for the ball, Brey said.dddddddddddd He sets the tone for us.FIRST HALF RUNSBryant missed its first nine shots and didnt score until nearly five minutes had passed while falling behind 9-0. But Grants consecutive 3-pointers sparked a 15-2 Bulldogs run that put them ahead 19-15 with nine minutes left in the first half.Beachem responded with seven straight points to start an 11-2 Irish run, and Notre Dame scored the final seven points of the half to build a 12-point lead.Its huge to have a guy like VJ who can stretch it and drive it, Colson said. We knew we would have to fight some adversity, but we just stayed together as a unit and stayed within ourselves.BIG PICTUREBryant: The Bulldogs, a Division I program since 2012, will play just four home games in the first two months of the season, while breaking in a six-man freshman class.Notre Dame: Debuting two new starters who played very little last year, Notre Dame improved to 17-0 under Mike Brey in season openers. Point guard Matt Farrell led the Irish with six assists in 28 minutes, while forward Martinas Geben had four points and seven rebounds.TIP-INSBryant: Senior forward Dan Garvin had seven points against the Irish as a freshman the last time the Bulldogs faced them in a narrow 11-point loss at ND in 2013.
