The Diamondbacks have acquired a big bat for the pennant race. Arizona claimed Reds left fielder Adam Dunn, currently tied for the major-league lead in home runs, on waivers and a deal was consummated just before the 48-hour window expired Monday, according to major-league sources.
Currently in first place in the NL West, the Diamondbacks were looking to boost an offense than ranks 10th in the National League in runs scored, 12th in home runs and 13th in batting average.
Dunn was hitting .233 with 32 home runs and 74 RBIs for the Reds this season.
