Jeff Mathis hits walk-off in 15th inning as Diamondbacks beat Dodgers

By The Associated Press

Chris Owings hit a three-run homer off All-Star closer Kenley Jansen with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings, and the Arizona Diamondbacks scored twice in the 15th to rally past the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-7 early Tuesday.

The first matchup between the teams since the NL champion Dodgers swept their Division Series last October became the longest game in Chase Field history at 5 hours, 45 minutes.

Chase Utley's RBI single shortly after midnight put the Dodgers up 7-6 in the 15th, but Nick Ahmed's run-scoring double tied it in the bottom of the inning and pinch-hitter Jeff Mathis singled Ahmed home with the game-winner.
