Diamondbacks Bang Out 7-4 Win Versus Boston
The Arizona Diamondbacks bested the Boston Red Sox, 7-4, at Chase Field. Alex Cora was named player of the game. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Doug Davis earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 4 earned runs on 5 hits, with 5 walks and 7 strikeouts. The save went to Ismael Valdez, his 2nd this season.

Cora came through with some timely hitting for Arizona. With the score 4-4 in the bottom of the fifth and two down, Cora hit a first pitch fastball for a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season made it 6-4, Arizona.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Cora. "And not try to do too much."

The Red Sox fall to 6-7 and continue their uneasy start to the 1969 season.
