Maddon says Rizzo is in 'class by himself'

Rizzo was 2-for-16 in four previous games on this road trip to San Diego and Arizona, and got started with a three-run double to the opposite field in the fifth which opened a 4-3 lead. The D-backs rallied, and the game was tied at 6 when Rizzo connected off Enrique Burgos with one out and two on in the ninth.
