Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled, and Gabriel Moreno
walked to lead off the decisive eighth. With two outs, Carroll
sent a sinking liner to right that appeared to be caught by
Seiya Suzuki.
Carroll was ruled out, but Arizona challenged the play,
believing Suzuki had trapped the ball. The call was overturned,
and umpires awarded Gurriel home after deeming that he would
have scored on the play.
That would be the only run the Diamondbacks (74-68) needed to
pull within two games of Chicago (76-66) for the second National
League wild-card spot.
Gallen (15-7) allowed just three hits while striking out nine.
He walked one while pitching his second career shutout.
Carroll went 2-for-3 with a walk and three stolen bases for
Arizona, which has taken the first two games of the four-game
series.
Cubs starter Jameson Taillon gave up just one hit over six
innings, walking one and striking out nine. He took a no-hitter
into the sixth.
Jose Cuas (3-1), who allowed Gurriel and Moreno to reach in the
eighth, took the loss.
Suzuki had two of Chicago's three hits.
Arizona seemed poised to strike right out of the gate when
Carroll walked to open the game, stole second and advanced to
third on catcher Miguel Amaya's errant throw.
But Taillon struck out Ketel Marte, Tommy Pham and Christian
Walker to snuff the threat, beginning a stretch in which he
retired 17 consecutive batters.
Carroll broke the stalemate, though, lining a single to left
with two outs in the sixth. He once again stole second and moved
to third when Amaya's throw skipped into center field, but he
was left stranded when Marte grounded out.
Gallen was equally as impressive as he was perfect until hitting
Nico Hoerner with one out in the fourth. Gallen didn't allow
another baserunner until Suzuki provided the game's first hit
with a one-out single in the fifth.
