For the second straight game, Arizona scored first, but was unable to hold the lead thanks to a quick Houston response. After Jake Lamb's RBI double put the D-backs up, 1-0, in the second, Jed Lowrie led off the home half with a double off starter Robbie Ray and was brought home on Chris Carter's sacrifice fly two batters later. Ray battled an elevated pitch count all day, needing 103 pitches to make it through just five innings
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
McHugh makes do: Though he allowed four doubles and had the tying run at the plate with less than two outs in the seventh, McHugh notched his fourth straight win by handling the top third of the D-backs order, forcing them into an 0-for-11 afternoon with four strikeouts -- including two of two-hole hitter Yasmany Tomas to wiggle out of jams in the fifth and seventh.
