Diamondbacks 8, Braves 4
ATLANTA -- Patrick Corbin had the Atlanta Braves' number before missing last season because of Tommy John elbow surgery and nothing has changed since.
The Arizona left-hander allowed just three hits and struck out eight over 6 2/3 scoreless innings in the eighth start of his comeback season as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves 8-4 on Saturday night.
Left fielder Dave Peralta, batting .516 (16-for-31) during a nine-game on-base streak, had three RBIs and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt delivered a two-run double in the ninth inning for the Diamondbacks (57-58) after the Braves (52-64) had scored four times in the eighth.
Corbin, who won 14 games as a rookie in 2013, has gone 16 2/3 innings against Atlanta in his career without allowing a run and the Braves are batting .134 (7-for-52) against him.
The victory was just the third in the past 15 games at Turner Field for the Diamondbacks, who lost the series opener 3-2 on Friday night.
Corbin (3-3) didn't allow more than one runner in any inning until the seventh, when he yielded his second and third walks to load the bases with two outs.
Manager Chip Hale pulled Corbin after 91 pitches and reliever David Hernandez ended the inning by striking out pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich.
Keith Hessler and Daniel Hudson struggled in the eight, though. Hessler allowed three hits, including doubles by center fielder Cameron Maybin and third baseman Adonis Garcia.
First baseman Nick Swisher homered off the right-field foul pole against Hudson.
Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz (4-4) lasted just 4 2/3 innings while giving up six runs on nine hits, including the 15th home run he's yielded in 77 innings this year.
It was the second-shortest start of the season for the rookie right-hander, who had given up five runs in a no-decision at Arizona on June 3.
The Diamondbacks got a first-inning run on a bloop double by center fielder A.J. Pollock and Peralta's two-out RBI single, then made it 3-0 in the fourth after Peralta went deep leading off.
Peralta's 12th homer of the season came on a 0-1 curveball, the ball just making the seats near the right-field foul pole. A walk and single followed, the Diamondbacks getting their third run when the Braves couldn't turn a double play on shortstop Chris Owings.
By the fifth inning, Arizona had comfortable lead and Foltynewicz was out of the game.
Sacrifice flies by Peralta and second baseman Aaron Hill followed three straight singles to open the inning, then third baseman Jake Lamb doubled to make it 6-0.
