Carroll, Thomas homers lead D’backs to 3-0 win over Cubs

CHICAGO — Corbin Carroll hit a two-run homer and Alek Thomas had a solo shot in Arizona’s three-run fifth inning to help the Diamondbacks beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 for their sixth win in seven games. Zac Gallen gave up three hits in five scoreless innings, tying his career high with six walks, as reigning National League champion Arizona moved three games above .500 for the first time this season. Kevin Ginkel, Justin Martinez and Ryan Thompson each pitched perfect innings, and Paul Sewald worked around Miles Mastrobuoni’s pinch-hit double in the ninth inning for his 15th save to complete the four-hitter. Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks (2-8) allowed three runs and two hits while giving up three walks in five innings.
