Chicago 3, Arizona 4
Arizona’s starting pitching had another strong outing. This time it was Zach Davies’ turn to shine. Davies experienced a four-batter, three-run hiccup in the top of the third, but his teammates picked him up in the bottom half. Davies then settled in and tossed zeroes for another 2 2⁄3 innings before giving way to Kyle Nelson and the bullpen. While Ian Kennedy had another adventurous night in the eighth, the bullpen kept things together and closed out the save.
