The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 first-inning lead. Pavin Smith and

pitch. After Christian Walker hit a sacrifice fly, Gibson got
Eugenio Suarez to hit into an inning-ending double play.
Arizona threatened again in the second inning. Jake McCarthy hit
a single and took second on a wild pitch, but Gibson retired the
next three batters
Paul Goldschmidt led off the bottom of the inning with a double,
but Montgomery retired the next three batters.
Gibson escaped a fourth-inning jam. Walker hit a leadoff single,
Corbin Carroll drew a two-out walk, and the runners advanced on
a wild pitch before Gibson struck out Kevin Newman.

again Gibson retired the next three batters.
