The Chicago Cubs (20-12) got back in the win column against the Arizona Diamondbacks (12-19), but it wasn’t easy. Madison Bumgarner held down the offense for nearly eight innings and it took a 9th-inning rally for the Cubs to come from behind and take a 5-3 victory, via MLB The Show 20.
Yu Darvish was on the mound versus Bumgarner, and early on the pitching matchup lived up to the hype. Darvish struck out five of the first six batters he faced while Bumgarner didn’t allow a hit until the fifth.
The D-Backs broke through in the 3rd, however, collecting four hits, all singles, to move ahead 2-0.
