Diamondbacks 3, Marlins 1
PHOENIX -- Left fielder David Peralta hit a two-run single, and right-hander Rubby De La Rosa continued his mastery of Miami in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 3-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday at Chase Field.
Peralta's two-out, two-run single broke a scoreless tie in the third inning.
De La Rosa limited the Marlins to five hits and one run in seven innings. He induced four double-play grounders as the Diamondbacks (43-48) broke a season-worst, six-game losing streak.
De La Rosa (7-5) walked five and struck out one in his second quality start against the Marlins this season. He gave up two runs in a career-high nine innings in a no-decision in Miami on May 18, a game the Diamondbacks won in 13 innings.
Third baseman Jake Lamb had two singles and scored on De La Rosa's bases-loaded looper to right field in the sixth inning that turned into a forceout when right fielder Ichiro Suzuki threw out shortstop Nick Ahmed at second base for the second out of the inning.
Third baseman Derek Dietrich led off the seventh inning with his third homer of the season for Miami (38-55), which has lost four of its past six and eight straight on the road.
Right-hander Brad Ziegler got Dietrich to ground out with the bases loaded for the final out of the eighth inning. He wound up throwing 40 pitches in a five-out save, his 15th save in 17 chances.
Left fielder Christian Yelich had two hits for the Marlins.
Miami right-hander David Phelps (4-6) gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Ahmed tripled to open the third inning before center fielder A.J. Pollock and Goldschmidt walked with two outs to load the bases for Peralta, who hit an opposite-field single to left field to drive in two runs for a 2-0 lead.
Miami loaded the bases on a walk and two singles with one out in the first inning off De La Rosa, but shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria grounded into a double play to end the inning.
The Marlins did not get another hit until Phelps singled to open the fifth inning, but Suzuki grounded into a double play to erase Phelps.
Hechavarria grounded into a double play in the sixth inning, and center fielder Cole Gillespie grounded into a double play in the seventh.
De La Rosa has induced 14 double play grounders in 19 starts this season.
NOTES: Marlins RF Giancarlo Stanton was cleared to begin "dry swings" after being evaluated by a hand specialist, manager Dan Jennings said. Stanton, out since June 27 with a fractured wrist, still was tied for the NL lead with 27 homers entering Monday's games. ... Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt is hitting an NL-high .419 with runners in scoring position. Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman (.418) is second. ... Miami RHP Jarred Cosart was diagnosed with vertigo after being forced out of a Friday start at Triple-A New Orleans, manager Dan Jennings said. Cosart spent time on the disabled list because of vertigo earlier in the season. ... Arizona SS Dansby Swanson, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft, politely declined to participate in pregame batting practice when offered a chance Monday. "When I get a chance to earn it, I'll do it then," Swanson said.
