PHOENIX -- It's either feast or famine for the Chicago Cubs. Wednesday night's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks was famine as the Cubs could muster only one hit, a single by Addison Russell.

Arizona's Robbie Ray struck out eight during his six inning stint and three other pitchers held the Cubs in check.

Arizona took a 4-0 first inning lead and finished with 12 hits in the game.
