Christopher Morel, Cody Bellinger and Dansby Swanson each hit solo homers in the third inning, and the Chicago Cubs snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Swanson added two singles and Kyle Hendricks tossed 5 2/3 effective innings to help Chicago strengthen its hold on the second NL wild card spot and close to within three of first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.
"I"m proud of how we came back today, bounced back," Bellinger said."Overall, we had a lot of good swings. You know, for us try to pick it up a little bit, do our part and as an offense help the team win, we did a good job today." Pfaadt, however, entered in the third as Arizona's second reliever after manager Tory Lovullo turned to left-hander Joe Mantiply as an opener."Morel obviously getting us off to a good start, the home run from him," Chicago manager David Ross said."Bellie's homer, awesome, Dansby with a really nice day."Seby Zavala had two hits an RBI in his first game with the Diamondbacks. The catcher was claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday.
Zavala's RBI single in the fifth cut it to 4-1, but Swanson knocked in his second run of the game in the bottom half.Lovullo tweaked his pitching plans on Sunday, using the lefty Mantiply as an opener — and forcing Ross to alter his lineup.
