Diamondbacks 6, Padres 4
PHOENIX -- Arizona center fielder A.J. Pollock hit a three-run homer in a five-run seventh inning, and catcher Welington Castillo had two hits and drove in a run in the Diamondbacks' 6-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday at Chase Field.
Second baseman Chris Owings drew a walk from reliever Bud Norris (1-2) to open the seventh inning, and he scored on shortstop Nick Ahmed's triple. Pinch hitter Aaron Hill walked, and Pollock hit the first pitch from reliever Kevin Quackenbush for a homer and 5-3 lead.
Pollock's homer was his 16th. He is the only major-leaguer with 30 doubles, 15 homers and 35 stolen bases.
San Diego used four relievers in the seventh inning after right-hander Tyson Ross limited the Diamondbacks to one run in six innings. Ross struck out nine and walked three.
Left fielder Justin Upton had three hits, including his 26th homer, for the Padres, who lost for the fifth time in six games and the nine time in 12.
Right-hander Brad Ziegler threw a wild pitch with the bases loaded to give the Padres a run in the eighth inning, but he struck out Brett Wallace to end the inning. Ziegler then worked a scoreless ninth for his 26th save.
Ziegler converted his 24th consecutive save opportunities, the longest active streak in the majors. Randall Delgado (6-4) struck out the only batter he faced for the victory.
Rookie third baseman Brandon Drury singled a run to cap the five-run seventh as the Diamondbacks (69-76) broke a three-game losing streak.
Rookie center fielder Travis Jankowski had two hits and an RBI for San Diego (68-78).
Arizona right-hander Jhoulys Chacin gave up two runs and four hits in five innings. He has received four runs of support while he has been on the mound in his three starts.
In the second inning, Upton hit a 3-0 pitch into the second deck in left field for his 26th homer of the year, his fifth in 15 games against the Diamondbacks this season. He is 2-for-5 with two homers when he puts a 3-0 pitch in play.
Ross singled to open the third inning, his 13th hit of the season. San Francisco's Madison Bumgarner, with 17, is the only pitcher with more.
Jankowski beat out a bunt single and first baseman Wil Myers walked to load the bases before Ross scored on third baseman Yangervis Solarte's double-play grounder to make it 2-0.
