Taylor's grand slam powers Dodgers past Diamondbacks
PHOENIX -- Chris Taylor had three hits including a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 13-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Friday.
Taylor had a two-run triple in a five-run fourth inning for a 7-3 lead the Dodgers never lost, doubled and scored in the fifth and hit his slam -- his first career homer -- in a four-run sixth.
Justin Turner hit his 14th homer, Yasiel Puig had three hits and three RBIs and right-hander Bud Norris (5-7) got his first victory against the Diamondbacks in eight career decisions.
Paul Goldschmidt had two hits and his 16th homer and Jean Segura hit his seventh homer for Arizona (38-53), which has lost five in a row, seven of eight and 13 of 15. They are 15-33 at home.
Howie Kendrick had three hits and an RBI and the Dodgers (52-40) had a season-high 18 hits while winning their fourth straight and ninth in 12 games.
Taylor, who had 10 RBIs in his previous 96 major league at-bats, attempted to bunt for a single to reach the cycle in the eighth inning but was thrown out by pitcher Josh Collmenter.
Taylor was attempting to join Orlando Hudson as Wes Parker as the only Dodgers to hit for the cycle since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958. Jackie Robinson, Gil Hodges and Babe Herman were among those who did it in Brooklyn.
Michael Bourn had two hits and two RBIs and Jake Lamb had two hits for Arizona.
Norris gave up four runs and eight hits in four innings. He struck out five and did not walk a batter. He was 0-7 with a 13.92 ERA against Arizona coming in.
Turner hit his 14th home in the first inning for a 1-0 lead, and two errors by Lamb at third around a double by Corey Seager led to an unearned as the Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the second inning.
Arizona scored three runs in the third to take the lead. Patrick Corbin and Nick Ahmed singled and scored on Bourn's triple to tie it, and Paul Goldschmidt's grounder drove in Bourn for a 3-2 lead.
The Dodgers took a 7-3 with five runs off Corbin (4-8) in the fourth.
Scott Van Slyke and Yasmani Grandal opened the inning with singles and scored on Taylor's triple. Howie Kendrick singled in Taylor before Puig's bases-loaded single drove in the final two runs of the inning.
Corbin gave up seven runs (six earned) and seven hits in four innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
Norris singled in a run for an 8-3 lead in the fifth. Lamb's two-out single in last of the inning made it 8-4.
Taylor's grand slam off Silvino Brach gave the Dodgers a 12-4 lead in the sixth inning.
