Arizona was out hit by Miami 13 to 5, but the D-Backs made it work as they won the final game of the series on Wednesday. The first sweep of the season must feel nice as they have played well against the likes of the New York Yankees, Milwaukee Brewers, and Baltimore Orioles, where each of those series they only took two out of three games.

Corbin Carroll continued his hitting streak to 10 games with his 17th RBI on the season in the fourth inning. His barrel up the middle helped the D-Backs gain a 4-1 lead. Carroll now is tied for the second-longest hitting streak in the MLB. Pavin Smith and Josh Naylor hit a couple more home runs, as Smith has been on a breakout as of late and Naylor has been the perfect helping hand after losing Christian Walker.

Eduardo Rodriguez gets his first win of the season had another decent outing leading to a victory this time. His 10 hits on the day look messy, but in 5.1 innings pitched he only gave up one earned run and struck out nine. The bullpen looked strong today, minus a couple hiccups from Thompson and Martinez. A.J. Puk came in the ninth inning gave up one hit and struck out one to help complete the Sweep for the D-Backs.
The D-Backs now travel to Chicago to face the Cubs again for the second time this season, they meet after their opening day series where they split the series two games a piece. Check out all the action at the Snakes will be at Wrigley Field tomorrow, with first pitch being at 11:20 a.m. on Friday, April 18th.
