The Diamondbacks won their third in a row and got another solid outing from a starting pitcher. Montgomery (2-2) scattered seven hits, struck out two and walked two. On Tuesday night, Zac Gallen threw six shutout innings as the Diamondbacks took the first game of the series.

Montgomery bounced back from an awful start May 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in which he gave up six runs in three innings.

“After the way it went for the Dodgers, I just had to get back out there,” he said. “It was good to get back out there and have better results.”

Christian Walker, Gabriel Moreno and Pavin Smith also drove in runs for Arizona to keep Cincinnati winless in the month of May.

“I think these are good games for us to win,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “We have to win one-run games. We have to learn how to execute at critical points in the game and expect to have this type of outcome.”
