Clay Buchholz had a great return from the DL and the Diamondbacks’ offense rapped out 12 hits to give him all the support he would need and then some.
Out since 24 June with a strained oblique, Clay Buchholz gave the Arizona Diamondbacks just what they needed on Tuesday. The crafty right-hander surrendered only one run over 6 2⁄3 innings of work.
Cubs starter, Kyle Kendrick cruised through the first four innings. Then, in the fifth, Paul Goldschmidt, Steven Souza, and Jake Lamb all plated Diamondbacks to give Arizona a lead it would never surrender.
