PHOENIX — Quinton McCracken hit a two-run double and Tony Womack followed with a two-run homer as the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied in the eighth inning to defeat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 Tuesday night.

        The Diamondbacks took a 4-1 lead into the eighth before both teams scored four times.

        Arizona closer Byung-Hyun Kim blew his fourth save in 30 chances, giving up a three-run double to Juan Uribe that capped Colorado's comeback. Kim (4-1) wound up with the win.

        Todd Jones (1-2) got the loss after allowing all four Arizona runs in the eighth.

        Womack drove in three runs, hitting an RBI single in the fifth before his drive into the right-field seats in the eighth. It was his second homer and first since April 6 — a span of 329 at-bats.

        Mark Grace also homered for Arizona. Junior Spivey doubled twice and singled.

        Spivey's two-run double gave the Diamondbacks a 4-1 lead in the fifth.

        Arizona starter Brian Anderson left after giving up a double to Brent Butler with one out in the eighth inning.

        Larry Walker followed with a run-scoring single off reliever Mike Myers, a left-handed specialist who then hit Todd Helton with a pitch.

        Mike Koplove got Todd Zeile to hit into a fielder's choice that left runners on the corners, but then walked pinch-hitter Todd Hollandsworth to load the bases. Kim relieved and gave up Uribe's double.

        Womack broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth with a bouncing single off John Thomson that eluded a diving Butler at second as David Dellucci scored from second.

        Gary Bennett drove in a run with an opposite-field single in the first inning. Grace tied it in Arizona's half with a leadoff homer that landed in the swimming pool behind the fence in right-center field.

        Notes: Grace, the first player with a splashdown homer at Bank One Ballpark, is the only one with three of the 25 total. He hit two for the Chicago Cubs in 1998, the year the stadium opened, including the initial one on May 12 that year. ... Rockies manager Clint Hurdle says Ben Petrick, a catcher being converted into an outfielder, will play the majority of the Hall of Fame game on Monday in center field. ... Spivey robbed Bennett of a bloop single in the seventh with an over-the-shoulder catch in shallow right-center. ... Walker kept his nine-game hitting streak alive with hits in his last three at-bats.
