Versatile D-backs aim to wax White Sox again (May 23, 2017)

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks will try to continue their mastery of interleague play Tuesday night when they play the middle game of a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox.

After a 5-1 win over the White Sox on Monday behind Zack Greinke, the Diamondbacks own a 6-1 record against American League opposition.

Then again, the Diamondbacks are faring well against most everybody. Arizona (27-19) is 6-1 in its past seven games and 9-3 in its past 12.

The White Sox (20-23) had a three-game winning streak snapped Monday.

The D-backs are capable of playing small ball, stealing bases and advancing runners, traits normally associated with National League play, while still carrying the lumber to win high-scoring games, more linked to the AL.
