CHICAGO - On a perfect day to play home run derby at Wrigley Field, the big winner was Josh Rojas. Rojas launched his first three longballs of the season and the Arizona Diamondbacks powered past the Chicago Cubs 10-6 on May 20. With a strong wind blowing out on a warm afternoon, the teams combined to clear the brick walls 11 times — the Diamondbacks connected for seven homers.
A week ago, the Chicago Cubs used a series victory at Arizona to kick off their longest winning streak of the season. Now, the Diamondbacks hope they are headed for similar success at the expense of the Cubs. Following an offensive breakout, the visiting Diamondbacks eye a third consecutive victory over the Cubs on Saturday.
The Chicago Cubs unveiled a statue of right-hander “Fergie” Jenkins outside Wrigley Field before their game on Friday. The metal sculpture of Jenkins delivering a pitch joins a row that includes ones of Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Ron Santo. Jenkins, who spent 10 of 19 seasons with the Cubs, spoke from the dais in a plaza on the west side of the ballpark.
