D-backs capitalize on Bucs' errors, score 6 in 1st

PHOENIX -- The D-backs pounced on the Pirates' late mistakes in Monday night's comeback victory. On Tuesday, they didn't waste any time, capitalizing on a trio of errors to score six runs in the first inning.

Arizona began the bottom of the first with consecutive singles by Jon Jay and Paul Goldschmidt. Jake Lamb then hit a ground ball that could have been a double play, but Pirates first baseman Josh Bell spiked the throw to second and Jay scored on the error. Moments later, John Ryan Murphy grounded an RBI single into left field to make it 2-0.
