The Arizona Diamondbacks rallied from an early four-run deficit before nearly blew a four-run lead late. Their manager and a reserve infielder were ejected after the same player got hit by a pitch twice in three innings.

The Philadelphia Phillies had a player complete the cycle in the ninth inning, thought they had a go-ahead homer on a ball that curled into their bullpen.

A wild night in the desert ended with the Diamondbacks' sixth straight win.

Evan Longoria hit a three-run homer and the Diamondbacks withstood J.T. Realmuto hitting for the cycle to beat the Phillies 9-8 on Monday night.

"This team is unfazed, we’re just going to keep playing," said Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, who was ejected in the third inning. "It’s they’re a bunch of black labs running around chasing frisbees on the beach."

This was no day at the beach. More like an exhausting night in the desert with 25 combined hits — 10 for extra bases — and numerous twists and turns.

Realmuto got it started with a solo homer in the first inning and a two-run triple in the third to put the Phillies up 5-1. He hit a double in the ninth inning to complete Philadelphia's first cycle since David Bell in 2004 and scored on Bryson Stott's single to cut Arizona's lead to 9-8.
