PHOENIX – For a moment, it looked like the Diamondbacks were going to pull off a comeback Saturday. Cubs closer Ryan Pressly had drawn soft contact from Corbin Carroll. But the blooper was so soft and so short that he was going to be able to run out the play.
The Cubs were clinging to a one-run advantage in the ninth inning, but with two runners already on base, that lead was precarious as shortstop Dansby Swanson picked up the ball on a bounce and drew back his arm to throw to first.
