Diamondbacks Hand Cubs Their First Loss Of Season
PHOENIX (AP) — Yasmany Tomas singled home Chris Owings with two outs in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to give the Chicago Cubs their first loss of the season, 3-2 on Friday night.
Welington Castillo singled off ex-Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill (0-1) and Owings, the pinch runner, took second on a groundout. Tomas singled to left and Owings raced home well ahead of the throw.
Jean Segura had three hits, including two doubles, to become the first Diamondbacks player to open a season with five multihit games. Paul Goldschmidt singled Segura home twice, the second time off Pedro Strop to tie it at 2 with two outs in the eighth.
Brad Ziegler (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the victory.
