Peter O'Brien nearly played the hero on his 25th birthday. A clutch two-run homer provided a late lead for the Pacific Coast League, but the International League rallied for three runs in the ninth to snag a 4-3 comeback victory over O'Brien and the PCL in the Triple-A All-Star Game.
The Diamondbacks' No. 7 prospect drilled a two-run shot to break up a 1-1 game in the bottom of the eighth. Following a single from Jason Pridie, O'Brien took Zach Phillips deep to left-center, capping off a 1-for-3 night.
But the celebration didn't last long.
