ANAHEIM, Calif. — For the third time in four days, an Arizona starter held an opponent hitless through the first five innings.
Chase Anderson and Allen Webster did it during a three-game sweep in San Francisco, and Robbie Ray followed in the opener against the Los Angeles Angels.
Ray allowed two hits over seven scoreless innings in his 10th major league start, and the Diamondbacks got home runs from Paul Goldschmidt and Yasmany Tomas in a 7-3 victory over the defending AL West champions on Monday night.
"Robbie did a great job tonight," Goldschmidt said. "When a guy's putting up a lot of zeros, you're going to get a chance offensively because it puts pressure on their pitcher to be perfect as well.
