The Diamondbacks didn’t have quite the early punch they did on Monday; rather, it was a more patient approach that served them well on Tuesday.

Backed by a three-run fifth inning, the Diamondbacks notched a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a four-game series at Wrigley Field. Arizona has now won three consecutive games.

BOX SCORE:  Diamondbacks 5, Cubs 1
