Diamondbacks strike early, lead Braves 2-1

The Diamondbacks wasted no time, jumping on Braves starter Charlie Morton for a pair of runs in the first inning.

Infield singles by Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll set the stage for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. who came up with two outs and promptly lined a Morton offering into leftfield, knocking home both runners to give the host team a 2-0 lead.
