CHICAGO -- The first hint for D-backs left-hander Patrick Corbin that this was going to be a good night for him came early.
"It's always good when you get to bat in the first inning," he said.
Indeed, Corbin's D-backs teammates batted around in the first, scoring five runs and providing him with all the offense he would need in a 7-1 win over the Cubs on Monday night at Wrigley Field.
The win was the second straight for the D-backs as they opened an important four-game series with the National League Central leaders.
