Geraldo Perdomo also had three hits, Christian Walker went
2-for-4 with an RBI and Cooper Hummel added a triple and run for
the Diamondbacks, who entered the game batting .199 but finished
with a season-high 12 hits.
Zach Davies (2-1) picked up the win, allowing three runs on four
hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out six. Mark
Melancon pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save as Arizona
won for the eighth time in its last 10 games.
Ildemaro Vargas had a two-run triple and Frank Schwindel added
two hits for Chicago, which lost for the seventh time in the
past nine games. Drew Smyly (1-4) took the defeat, giving up
four runs on 10 hits over six innings. He walked one and struck
out four.
Chicago jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third inning. Jason
Heyward led off with a double off the bottom of the fence in
center and then advanced to third on a bunt single by Jonathan
Villar. Vargas then tripled into the gap in right-center to
drive in Heyward and Villar. Rafael Ortega followed with a
sacrifice fly to drive in Vargas.
Arizona tied it, 3-3, in the bottom of the third. Hummel led off
with a triple and scored one out later on Marte's double down
the left field line. Walker followed with a single off the glove
of Vargas to drive in Marte and then scored on a double by Pavin
Smith.
The Diamondbacks then took a 4-3 lead in the fourth when Rojas
led off with a walk, stole second, advanced to third on an
infield single by Perdomo and scored when Smyly bounced a pitch
to Hummel to the backstop.
Chicago loaded the bases with two outs when Willson Contreras
reached on an error and reliever Ian Kennedy then walked Ian
Happ and Patrick Wisdom. But Kennedy got out of the jam by
getting Alfonso Rivas to fly out to shallow center.
