Diamondbacks Ride Strong Arms to Win The story of the game will be how Arizona’s pitching was dominant yet again. But it would be remiss to overlook yet another big eighth inning.

After the eighth inning gave fans a single frame of big hits, Corbin Carroll put the Cubs on notice that the Diamondbacks were not going to be deflated by the previous day’s bullpen meltdown. With the win shifting about, Corbin Carroll tagged a fastball offering from Chicago’s Ben Brown straight to the batter’s eye in center field.

Bullpen Spoils Massive ComebackWhen your team scores 10 in the eighth inning to take the lead, the least the bullpen can do is not give up six runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Geno with his second grand slam of the year to lift the comeback effortsYou know it’s your guyyyy, Geno.

Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Minnesota Twins/Getty Images It’s definitely a little odd that, by the end of the weekend, the D-backs will have played the Cubs seven times, without going up against anyone in our own division, for even a single game. But them’s the scheduling. After splitting the four games at Chase Field, the teams have performed similarly. Each have won ten times, though the Cubs have a couple more losses on their record.
