    After taking a called second strike he didn't like, Stephen Drew took matters out of the umpire's hands.

    Drew hit his first career grand slam to spark Arizona's seven-run first inning, a franchise record, and the Diamondbacks routed the Chicago Cubs 11-2 on Thursday night.

    "It can bother you, so that's why I stepped out and regrouped myself," Drew said. "I got a little frustrated, so I stepped back and took a few deep breaths. At least I had another pitch instead of it being strike three."

    Drew finished with a career-best five RBIs and Miguel Montero also homered and drove in three runs. Barry Enright (1-2) earned his first win since Sept. 1 for the Diamondbacks, who have won three of four.

    "We kept pushing," manager Kirk Gibson said. "That game could have tightened up very quickly."
