Diamondbacks rip Cubs, 10-4

The Diamondbacks pound out 14 hits and starting pitcher Patrick Corbin hurls six strong innings as Arizona beats the Chicago Cubs, 10-4, at Chase Field tonight.

Corbin improves to 12-1 and the Diamondbacks keep pace with the LA Dodgers, a 10-9 winner in Toronto tonight.

The top of the batting order for Arizona -- Adam Eaton, A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt, were a combined 7 for 12 with six runs scored and four RBI, while the middle of the lineup didn't do too bad as Eric Chavez went 2 for 4 with three runs batted in and Martin Prado went 2 for 3 with a solo homer and two RBI.

Goldschmidt knocked in his 80th run of the season with an eighth-inning double. Corbin struck out six and walked three and allowed just four hits and one earned run.

The Diamondbacks (52-48) and the Cubs (44-54) continue the four-game series tomorrow night. Ian Kennedy (3-7, 5.29 ERA) will take the mound for the D'backs.
