Lamb's homer carries Diamondbacks past Dodgers
LOS ANGELES -- Jake Lamb hit the go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night at Dodger Stadium.
Lamb led off the inning with a blast off reliever Chris Hatcher for his team-leading third home run this season.
David Peralta, who went 4-for-5, drove in two runs for the Diamondbacks (9-5) as they split the four-game series with the Dodgers. A.J. Pollock, who also was 4-for-5, had the other RBI.
Reliever J.J. Hoover (1-0) struck out three in two scoreless innings for Arizona. Closer Fernando Rodney retired the side in the ninth for his fifth save.
Hatcher (0-1) worked 2 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on four hits. He struck out five.
Enrique Hernandez homered and Logan Forsythe had an RBI for the Dodgers (7-7).
Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner hit a lead-off double to open the eighth inning, but reliever Hoover retired Yasiel Puig, Yasmani Grandal and Hernandez to end the threat.
Neither starter figured in the decision. Dodgers right-hander Brandon McCarthy struck out eight and allowed two runs on five hits with three walks in five innings.
Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray shook off some early command problems to fan 10 and give up two runs (one earned) on three hits in six innings. He issued four walks and threw a wild pitch.
Forsythe's sacrifice fly to center scored Rob Segedin for a 1-0 Dodgers lead in the second inning.
Hernandez drilled an 0-1 pitch from Ray for a solo shot to left to open the fourth for a 2-0 edge.
In the fifth, the Rockies tied the score. Pollock singled home Chris Owings, who reached on a walk, and Peralta's single scored Ray, who walked.
NOTES: The Dodgers placed LHP Rich Hill (blister on middle pitching finger) on the 10-day disabled list for the second time this season. INF/OF Rob Segedin, who started at first base, was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the roster spot. ... Both clubs resume play Tuesday. Diamondbacks RHP Shelby Miller (1-1, 5.06 ERA) will oppose Padres RHP Jarred Cosart (0-0, 3.86) on Tuesday in the opener of three-game set at Petco Park. Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (1-1, 5.91) will face Dodgers LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-2, 5.91) in a two-game series at Dodger Stadium.
