The Cubs opened a three-game series against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Left-handed batter Alek Thomas took a confident swing at a slider and hit a crucial three-run homer off one of baseball's top left-handed pitchers. It was another indication that these young Arizona Diamondbacks are growing up fast, getting better by the game in a pressure-packed September playoff chase. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Thomas both hit three-run homers, rookie Brandon Pfaadt delivered 5 1/3 quality innings and Arizona beat the Chicago Cubs 6-4 on Friday night.
