Diamondbacks News
Arizona 15, Chicago (A) 4
The game sure didn’t start off pretty. Zach Davies took the mound for Arizona and promptly spotted the White Sox a 3-run lead in the bottom of the first. The Diamondbacks responded by chipping away with one in the second, only to see Davies give it right back in the bottom of the frame. The Diamondbacks clawed back two more in the third. Then, in the fourth, Ryne Nelson calmed things down on the mound, followed by the Diamondbacks’ offense finding their groove in the fifth, where they put up a six-spot. The game was easy sailing after that.
