Marlins Fall To Diamondbacks

     The Arizona Diamondbacks rolled over the Miami Marlins 6-2 at Chase Field on Saturday night. The Fish have lost five straight and been on the losing end in 11 of their last 14 games.
     It was the same situation just like Friday as Arizona(30-27) scored in the first three innings. Paul Goldschmidt crushed a solo home run down the left-field line on a 2-1 pitch during the first.
     The D-Backs compiled two runs in the bottom of the second. Ketel Marte lined a triple to deep left center for Chris Owings to score. Two batters later, Marte scored on a sacrifice fly by former Marlin Jeff Mathis to left field.
     David Peralta jacked a two-run homer to left on a 2-2 count to make it 5-0 in the third inning. Goldschmidt scored in front of him on the play.
     The Diamondbacks extended their margin to six runs in the fifth inning. Deven Marrero walked with bases loaded and Nick Ahmed crossed the plate.
     In the sixth inning, Miami(20-38) finally got to Arizona starting pitcher Zack Greinke. Brian Anderson knocked in Starlin Castro with a triple into deep right field.
     The Marlins added another run with one out in the top of the ninth. Lewis Brinson smashed a solo home run to center field on a 1-1 pitch.
