The Diamondbacks offense brought the Arizona heat with it to Wrigley Field on Monday.
As the Valley experienced an 115-degree afternoon, the Diamondbacks began Monday’s series opener against the Chicago Cubs with the same scalding intensity en route to a 7-1 victory in front of 40,859 fans in attendance.
Outfielder Jon Jay led off the game with a hit-by-pitch, his 12th in 36 games with the Diamondbacks, and the floodgates opened against Cubs right-hander Luke Farrell from there.
BOX SCORE: Diamondbacks 7, Cubs 1
