Goldschmidt’s three homers power Arizona past Cubs

The shortest of Paul Goldschmidt’s three home runs on Thursday — the one that went only about halfway up the left-center bleachers at Wrigley Field — turned out to be his biggest.

Goldschmidt snapped a tie in the ninth inning with his third long drive of the game, and the Arizona Diamondbacks pulled out a raindelayed 10-8 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.

The Diamondbacks first baseman hit a 3-2 pitch from Wade Davis (2-1) deep into the rightcenter bleachers with one out. J.D. Martinez followed with another solo blast off the Cubs closer.

“Crazy. I’ve never had three home runs and just to win that game back and forth is good for our team,” Goldschmidt said.

Brandon Drury also homered for Arizona, which remained percentage points ahead of Colorado for the top NL wild card despite blowing a five-run lead.
