Diamondbacks rock the rafters at Chase

Arizona Diamondbacks


The Arizona Diamondbacks (56-56) scored 26 runs and rattled 32 hits around the confines of Chase Field, knocking off the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 13-3 on Monday and 13-1 tonight to even their season record at 56 wins and 56 losses.

The Diamondbacks have been trying for weeks to get back to the .500 mark and they picked this week to unleash a devastating hitting attack, which included an 11-run second inning against the Phillies in Game 2 of the three-game series.

Last night, it was David Peralta leading the way with a 5 for 5 night as the Diamondbacks collected 17 hits. Tonight, it was Peralta again, this time with a grand-slam in the second inning. He finished the night with five RBI as Arizona lit up the scoreboard with 15 more hits.

The Phillies are reeling. The Diamondbacks will be out to sweep the series with a 12:40 p.m. game on Wednesday.

Keep it up, Diamondbacks!
