Chicago Slaps 9-2 Loss on Arizona
At Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Chicago pitcher Justin Sorensen did his part in helping his team beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 9-2. The left-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The winning pitcher was Sorensen, now 12-4. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 7.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Jalen Motley to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Cubs ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"Justin pitched like a son-of-a-gun," said Chicago manager Vin Calia.

With the victory, the Cubs upped their record to 64-44.
