The Cubs pulled out a dramatic victory to close their series in Seattle with a win and now they’re in Arizona with a chance to produce a victorious road trip. The Diamondbacks are right at .500 through 16 games and will get reinforcements when Jordan Montgomery joins them, but they’re a very confident group that’s more than capable of putting up a fight.
Ben Brown is on the bump for the second time as the official starter and could build on his 77 pitches from last week if he continues to pitch well. He went 4.2 innings in San Diego after throwing four innings against the Rockies, so he may get into the 6th with 80+ pitches tonight.
