At the plate: The Diamondbacks blew an 8-3 lead and settled for a tie. 2B Jean Segura went 3 for 4 with three singles, raising his spring batting average to .692 (9 for 13).

Arizona scored six runs in the second on four hits and three walks, highlighted by a two-run single by Segura and a two-run home run by DH Peter O’Brien, his first of spring training. 3B Jake Lamb added a two-run homer, which was also his first.
