D'backs Beat Cardinals, White Sox Win, MLB Scores

Jean Segura is batting a cool .400 in his home ballpark after the four hits he registered Monday night in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 12-7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

One of the four hits was a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning that came during a historic turn at bat for the Diamondbacks.

"I was not ready for an inside pitch. I just reacted to that pitch and I just hit it out," Segura, a first-year Diamondback, said. Then he was asked about hitting at Chase Field. "Even when I was a visitor I loved to play here. Everything is going to my favorite side."

Segura's blast highlighted Arizona's nine-run sixth inning and made ace Zack Greinke a winner despite allowing seven runs. The Cardinals bullpen was rocked in the sixth after starter Jaime Garcia was removed with two runners on base.

Greinke (2-2) lasted 6 2/3 innings and gave up 11 hits. He's surrendered 21 runs in five starts and has a 6.16 earned run average.

"I thought I did all right. It's just kind of embarrassing giving up seven runs thinking you did all right," Greinke said. "I'll take it, as long as it's not like that all the time."

Matt Bowman (0-1) gave up a run-scoring single to Chris Owings, his second RBI of the night, and Greinke helped himself by bouncing a single through a drawn-in infield that was expecting a bunt with two strikes.

Kevin Siegrist entered with one out and served up Segura's fourth home run of the season, a line drive into the left field seats. Siegrist then put two runners on and was taken out in favor of Seth Maness, who surrendered Yasmany Tomas' RBI double, Welington Castillo's two-run single and another RBI single for Owings.

White Sox 7, Blue Jays 5

Facing a four-run deficit against Blue Jays ace Marcus Stroman, White Sox manager Robin Ventura figured his team was finished. Far from it.

Todd Frazier doubled home the go-ahead run in a five-run seventh inning and the White Sox rallied to beat Toronto 7-5 on Monday night.

Frazier went 2 for 3 with three RBI, Jimmy Rollins had three hits, and Adam Eaton had two hits and two RBI as the White Sox overcame a four-run deficit to win their fourth straight.

"Coming up big, man," Frazier said. "That's what this team is about. We were down four runs but we weren't out and we just battled our tails off."

Zach Putnam (1-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win. Dan Jennings got one out, Matt Albers worked the eighth and David Robertson finished for his eighth save.

Troy Tulowitzki made the final out when he was hit by Michael Saunders' infield hopper while running from first to second.

Saunders hit a two-run home run for the Blue Jays, who failed to win three consecutive home games for the first time this season.
