17 pitches in, the Diamondbacks had a three-run lead, having sent six men to the plate and seen five of them reach. Pavin Smith led off with a single, Kole Calhoun reached on an error, then Asdrubal Cabrera and David Peralta got the team on the board, each providing RBI singles. Carson Kelly made it 3-0, albeit by hitting into a double-play, and Eduardo Escobar had a double, as Arizona came out, swinging with intent Nick Ahmed continued his tough start to the season, striking out for the eighth time in 30 at-bats this year. But the D-backs continued to narrow the offensive gap over the early going.
