Arizona Diamondbacks beat Chicago Cubs 6-4
White Sox fan who complained that Walmart wasn’t selling team gear shows off store’s new Sox section
John Mares of Lockport, Illinois, went viral earlier this summer for his video showing how his local Walmart carried a section of Chicago Cubs gear, but no Chicago White Sox gear. Now, things have changed.
CHICAGO - Merrill Kelly threw eight solid innings, Eduardo Escobar hit a two-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a three-game sweep with a 6-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Kelly needed just 75 pitches to navigate the Cubs' lineup through eight innings and threw 59 strikes.
He was helped by two spectacular catches by Kole Calhoun.
The D-backs have won five of the past six games Kelly has started.
Joakim Soria earned his fourth save, one day after blowing a 2-1 lead by giving up three runs in the ninth.
