Cubs, Arrieta own early lead
The Cubs scored a run in each of the first two innings off Zack Godley while right-hander Jake Arrieta has tossed three scoreless innings, and the Cubs lead 2-0 over the Diamondbacks after 3 1/2 innings on Sunday afternoon at Chase field.
The Cubs’ first run of the day scored in unusual fashion. They had runners on first and second when Godley fired a breaking ball in the dirt that Victor Caratini swung at and missed.
The pitch got away from Diamondbacks catcher Chris Iannetta, and Kris Bryant, who was running from second on the full-count pitch, rounded third and kept going.
