Dbacks 4, Blue Jays 2: So this is what a winning streak feels like

Both teams were pretty quiet until the third inning, when the Dbacks got things going for the night with their first run. With two outs, Jean Segura walked, and then stole second to be in scoring position for Chris Herrmann. Herrmann hit a soft single to left  that Segura was able to come around and score on. They also added two more runs in the second inning, courtesy of Yasmany Tomas hitting a mammoth home run that also score Rickie Weeks Jr., for his tenth of the year. 3-0 Diamondbacks

To this point, Patrick Cobin hadn't been great, but he had kept the potent Blue Jays line up in check so far, only allowing a solitary base runner in each of the first three innings. He wasn't quiet so luck in the fourth inning, however.  With one out he gave up a double to Michael Saunders and walked Tulowitzki, bringing Kevin Pilar to the plate. He took a 1-0 pitch and turned it into a double, scoring both, and cutting Arizona's lead to just one. Corbin held them there and finished off the inning with a strike out, and Pilar gettting caught trying to steal third. 3-2 Dbacks

Both teams were quiet for another couple innings, with the Dbacks actually going down in order for both the fifth and sixth. In the seventh, both Arizona and Toronto woke up a bit. Peter O'Brian hit a solo home run and continued to cement his status as the spiritual heir to Mark Reynolds. Corbin suffered a bit at the hands of a couple questionable strike calls and walked Eziquiel Carrera. That brought last year's AL MVP, Josh Donaldson, to the plate, and Chip Hale decided to go with Jake Barrett instead. It was a bit of a battle, but Barrett got Donaldson to GIDP, and ended the

And that's it folks. The Dbacks bullpen faced seven batters and retired eight, thanks to that double play by Barrett. Hudson got the save, and a bunch of Canadians went home sad. USA or something like that...
