Third's a Charm
Chris Young gets moved down to the third spot in the batting order, and he delivers by blasting the first pitch he sees down the left field line for a solo home run. The announcers note that the last game Young played in Wrigley during the playoffs, he hit the first pitch he saw for a home run. The Diamondbacks lead 1-0.
Update: Earlier today I linked to an article about how the DBacks study pitchers and catchers so they can steal at a high rate. Conor Jackson just stole on Ted Lilly. He ran on Ted's first movement, got it right, and Soto didn't even throw.

Through 3 innings, Lilly has now had his 1-2-3 innings interrupted by a two-out homer, two out single, and now two out triple.
If he can get two guys out, give up a double, and then get the next guy to end the fourth, he'll have the cycle.
