Jake McCarthy made his return and was able to make a key defensive play as he robbed a home run at the wall in the bottom of the second inning. Alek Thomas also made a terrific catch where he covered a lot of ground in right-center at the end of the fifth inning, helping strand two runners for the Chicago White Sox.

Arizona dealt with another injury, as Ildemaro Vargas was hit on the ankle by a pitch. The MRI came back with a fractured foot for Vargas. The injuries just keep piling up for Arizona, and D-Backs Manager Torey Lovullo turned to Tim Tawa to take over third base duties the rest of the day.
