"Chicago scored three runs against Zac Gallen in the opening inning, starting with a two-run single by Michael Busch. Carson Kelly then hit a seemingly harmless pop up behind second base, but there was confusion among the Arizona defenders and the ball dropped for an RBI single to make it 3-0."
"Rea came out of the game with a runner on first and one out in the 6th, and his replacement, Ryan Rolison, ran into major trouble. A very hard bunt by Jorge Barrosa stayed fair down the third base line and hit the bag for an unlikely RBI double."
"The Cubs relievers settled down after that and kept the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard the rest of the game. Phil Maton covered the 7th inning and Jacob Webb handled the final two to earn the save and a ninth consecutive home victory."
The Cubs began May with a win against the Diamondbacks, scoring three runs in the first inning. Michael Busch's two-run single and a dropped pop-up contributed to the early lead. After a brief response from Arizona, the Cubs added three more runs in the fourth inning. However, the Diamondbacks rallied, cutting the deficit to one run. The Cubs' bullpen held strong, preventing further scoring and securing a ninth consecutive home victory.
