Heisey comes up big with go-ahead slam

LOS ANGELES -- Stepping back out on the top step of the dugout to acknowledge 38,224 cheering fans on their feet won't make up for how difficult a season this has been for Chris Heisey. But it's pretty close.

Heisey launched a grand slam and took a curtain call to cap a six-run fifth inning as the Dodgers beat the D-backs, 6-3, on Thursday to lower their magic number in the NL West to four.

"I didn't realize they were doing it until Justin Turner told me to go out there and give them what they wanted," Heisey said.
