The Diamondbacks added three runs in the eighth against Jaye Chapman, the first scoring on a throwing error by second baseman Darwin Barney -- his second of the season and first since April 17.
NOTES: Barney had been three outs away from setting the major league record with his 142nd consecutive errorless game at second. He finishes tied with Placido Polanco, who went 141 games without an error at second in with Detroit in 2007. . Kennedy reached the 200-inning mark to become the fifth pitcher in franchise history with consecutive 200-inning seasons. . Castro, who entered the game in a 2-for-10 slide, went 3 for 4. . The Diamondbacks' elimination from the pennant race officially came with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning. . Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt was scratched shortly before the first pitch with a sore back. Mike Jacobs took his place and hit sixth. . RHP Justin Germano (2-9) will try to snap a seven-game losing streak when he takes the mound Saturday night for the Cubs against Arizona RHP Trevor Cahill (12-12). Cahill, who is one strikeout away from a career high 147, is 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA in his past two starts at home.
