Game Summary
Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Chicago Cubs 2-0. Arizona did it with a lone homer and shutdown pitching: Jordan Lawlar’s sixth-inning solo shot provided the game’s first run and Ryan Waldschmidt’s eighth-inning sacrifice double play produced the insurance run, while the Diamondbacks’ pitching staff held Chicago to two hits and 10 strikeouts. Eduardo Rodríguez worked seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out nine to earn the win, and Juan Morillo closed with a scoreless ninth for the save. Matthew Boyd took the loss despite six innings of one-run ball for the Cubs. Geraldo Perdomo’s two hits and Lawlar’s 2-for-3 performance stood out offensively.
