Recap: After a relatively quiet series in Miami, the Diamondbacks' bullpen woes came back with a vengeance Saturday, sending Arizona to a 9-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs in front of 30,502 at Chase Field. The loss broke a five-game win streak for Arizona.
The bullpen was responsible for five of the Cubs' nine runs, giving up two in the eighth and three in the ninth. In the eighth, LHP Oliver Perez continued to struggle, hitting his first batter and surrendering a two-run double to Jorge Soler to tie the game at 6-6.
BOX SCORE: Cubs 9, Diamondbacks 6
Perez's struggles aren't new, but RHP Enrique Burgos had been pitching well until he entered the game in the ninth.
