Diamondbacks 2, Dodgers 3: When is a walk-off hit, not a walk-off hit?

Considering there weren’t many known names pitching for the D-backs in tonight’s game at Camelback Ranch, I guess it’s quite impressive they held the World Series Champions* to only three runs. And one of those was an unearned run, after Domingo Leyba clanked a flyball off his glove to lead-off the bottom of the eighth and final inning for a two-base error. That runner immediately scored on a ground-rule double off Kevin Ginkel, and with the score at the time being 2-2, that should have been the game ender. But spring gonna spring, and Ginkel was allowed to work into a bases-loaded jam, before then escaping without further damage.
