With Kelly Johnson leading the way, the Arizona Diamondbacks are enjoying their best stretch at the plate this season. Johnson, coming off yet another strong game, leads the Diamondbacks as they try to win three straight for the first time this season Friday night in a matchup with the Chicago Cubs. Arizona has won six of nine following a five-game losing streak. The Diamondbacks have overcome some lackluster pitching over that stretch with stellar performances at the plate, scoring 25 runs en route to winning their last two games. Four different players homered for Arizona as it opened this four-game series with a 13-5 win Thursday. The Diamondbacks are 8-0 when homering at least twice and 0-6 when failing to go deep. Arizona has a major league-best 33 homers.

LaRoche drove in five runs with two homers and a double, and Johnson also connected for Arizona. Johnson has nine home runs, hitting six over his last seven games.Johnson also had three singles to raise his average to .320. It has been an unexpectedly strong start for the second baseman, who hit .224 with eight homers in 303 at-bats last season. Johnson is hitting .371 at Wrigley Field. LaRoche is batting .455 with three homers and 11 RBIs in his last six games there. He’s coming off his 13th career multihomer game, and his five RBIs matched a career high. Arizona’s lineup had a big game the last time Rodrigo Lopez took the mound. Lopez is set to start for the first time since surrendering six runs and 10 hits in six innings before the Diamondbacks rallied to beat Philadelphia 8-6 on Sunday. The right-hander is 1-1 with a 7.59 ERA in two starts versus the Cubs.
