PHOENIX — Ketel Marte hit a tying solo homer with two outs in the ninth, and Randal Grichuk won it with a pinch-hit RBI double in the 10th, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a wild 12-11 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Grichuk ripped the second pitch he saw from Drew Smyly into the left-center gap, easily scoring Christian Walker from second as D-backs players poured onto the field to celebrate. The Cubs rallied from two three-run deficits, but still couldn't get the win. Ian Happ hit a go-ahead grand slam as part of a six-run seventh inning that gave Chicago an 11-8 lead.
