Arizona: 3B Cody Ransom was 5-for-13 and reached base eight of 16 times in four consecutive starts while taking over for the slumping Ryan Roberts early in the week. Ransom, whose contract was purchased from Class AAA Reno on April 18, has played while waiting for a kidney stone to pass. "Adrenaline is a good thing, it really is," he said. ... The D-backs went 3-7 and lost series to Pittsburgh (1-2), Atlanta (1-3) and Philadelphia (1-2) on their most recent stay at home. It was their worst three-series homestand since Kirk Gibson became interim manager in 2010.
