Arizona's starting pitching woes continued as Michael Soroka, who entered with a 2.60 ERA, was battered for eight earned runs in four innings. His ERA ballooned to 4.70, and the Diamondbacks found themselves in a deep hole early, trailing 6-0 by the third inning. milkshake.it.com
Offensively, Arizona couldn't generate much momentum, with hitters pressing after falling behind. The lone bright spot was Ildemaro Vargas, who collected two hits and extended his hitting streak to 26 games, tying him with Paul Goldschmidt for the second-longest streak in franchise history. The Diamondbacks now head to Chicago to face the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
