Corbin Carroll went 2-for-4 with a run and
Ketel Marte had a sacrifice fly for the Diamondbacks, who are in
the thick of the National League wild-card race.
Each team had only three hits.
Arizona (84-75) currently owns the second wild card and sits 1
1/2 games above the Miami Marlins (82-76), whose game against
the New York Mets was suspended late Thursday night. The Chicago
Cubs (82-77) lost 5-3 to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday to fall
a half-game behind Miami in the chase for the third and final NL
wild card.
It looked like the Diamondbacks were going to jump out to an
early lead after Carroll opened the game with a single, stole
second and advanced to third on a groundout.
Tommy Pham followed with a walk, but Christian Walker struck out
and, after Pham stole second to put two runners in scoring
position, Alek Thomas flied out to end the inning.
Vaughn made Arizona pay when he cranked his two-run shot in the
second, scoring Moncada, who had worked a leadoff walk.
The Diamondbacks drew within 2-1 in the third thanks in large
part to Carroll, who lined a one-out triple to right center
before scoring on Marte's sacrifice fly.
Arizona had a chance to tie or take the lead when it loaded the
bases with two outs in the fourth, but Chicago starter Touki
Toussaint struck out Geraldo Perdomo, freezing him with a
curveball on the outside corner.
Moncada then opened the home half of the fourth with his 10th
homer of the season to make the score 3-1.
Toussaint allowed one run on three hits and three walks in four
innings. He struck out four.
Making his first start of the season, Diamondbacks right-hander
Bryce Jarvis (2-1) lasted just 2 2/3 innings. He allowed two
runs and one hit.
