PHOENIX (AP) -- Yasmany Tomas singled home Chris Owings with two outs in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to give the Chicago Cubs their first loss of the season, 3-2 on Friday night.Welington Castillo singled off ex-Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill (0-1) and Owings, the pinch runner, took second on a groundout. Tomas singled to left and Owings raced home well ahead of the throw.Jean Segura had three hits, including two doubles, to become the first Diamondbacks player to open a season with five multihit games. 
Paul Goldschmidt singled Segura home twice, the second time off Pedro Strop to tie it at 2 with two outs in the eighth.Brad Ziegler (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the victory.The Cubs' offense cooled off after piling up 29 runs in their first three games. Both Chicago runs came without a hit in the fourth inning off Robbie Ray. The Arizona left-hander walked four of the first five batters he faced in the inning, his only walks of the night.Ray and Chicago starter Jason Hammel both went six innings and allowed four hits apiece. Ray's four walks in the third were his only ones of the game.The Cubs' loss came after they learned earlier in the day that their young slugger Kyle Schwarber would be out for the season after tearing two knee ligaments in an outfield collision Thursday night.Hammel gave up two hits to start the game, then didn't allow another until the sixth inning, when Segura singled, stole second, went to third on a fly out and scored on Goldschmidt's single. Chicago's two runs came on a bases-loaded walk and fielder's choice groundout.WEIRD DOUBLEThe Diamondbacks pulled off a strange double play in which five players touched the ball.With Jason Heyward on first and Dexter Fowler at third, Anthony Rizzo hit a sharp grounder to first baseman Goldschmidt, who threw to catcher Castillo, catching Fowler in a rundown. Fowler was tagged out by shortstop Nick Ahmed, who threw to right fielder David Peralta covering first. Rizzo, trying to get back to the bag, was tagged out by Peralta.For those keeping score, that's a 3-2-5-2-6-9 double play.REPLACING SCHWARBERManager Joe Maddon said the Cubs have the versatility and depth to have several options to play left field now that Schwarber is out. Jorge Soler was in left Friday night. Maddon said Tommy La Stella also is a candidate, and Rizzo and 3B Kris Bryant could shift to the outfield from time to time.
