Arizona Is Making the Chase Pack Uncomfortable

The D-backs beat the Guardians 12-8 on August 1, extending their winning streak to four games and continuing their climb in the playoff race.

Cleveland jumped ahead early, but Arizona flipped the game in the fifth before breaking it open with seven runs in the seventh.

Geraldo Perdomo opened that inning with a homer, and Corbin Carroll capped the rally with a three-run shot as Arizona pulled away.

The Guardians fought back with a big eighth inning, but the D-backs added insurance late and held on.
