Diamondbacks Pounce Marlins

     The Arizona Diamondbacks jumped on the Miami Marlins 5-4 at loanDepot park on Monday night. The Marlins have lost two straight contests following a seven-game winning streak.
     Daulton Varsho led off the first inning with a double off the top of the right-field wall for the Diamondbacks. Two batters later, David Peralta ripped a two-run homer over the right-center field fence on the first pitch for his third home run of the season. Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez had his consecutive scoreless innings streak end at 18 2/3 on that play. 
     Arizona(11-13) added two more runs during the top of the fifth to move ahead 4-0. Jordan Luplow drove in Varsho on a base hit into right field. Peralta followed with a single to center field that scored Luplow. 
     Miami(12-10) fell behind 5-0 in the top of the seventh. Luplow picked up another RBI-single, this time to center field, which brought in Geraldo Perdomo. 
     The Marlins cut the deficit to 5-4 in the bottom of the frame. Jazz Chisholm Jr. lined a double to the right-field warning track for Avisail Garcia and Garrett Cooper to score. Jesus Aguilar came up next with an infield single to the left side and Jacob Stallings along with Chisholm reached home.
