Diamondbacks belt six homers in 10-2 win
PHILADELPHIA -- Yasmany Tomas and Peter O'Brien hit two home runs apiece as the Arizona Diamondbacks blasted the Philadelphia Phillies 10-2 on Friday night.
Welington Castillo and Paul Goldschmidt also homered for Arizona, which tied a franchise record with six long balls.
The Diamondbacks, opening a 10-game road trip, won for the fourth time in six games.
Tomas, a native of Cuba, raised his home run total for the season to nine with the second multi-homer game of his two-year career. The other came April 17 at San Diego. He went 2-for-5 in the game and is now 10-for-20 in his career against the Phillies, with four homers and five RBIs.
O'Brien, a rookie called up from Triple-A Reno on June 10, also went 2-for-5 and has three hits in 20 at-bats in six games this season. All three hits are home runs.
Arizona starter Robbie Ray (4-5) won his second straight start, going six innings and allowing two runs and seven hits while striking out seven and walking one.
Philadelphia dropped its fourth straight, its eighth in nine games and its 21st in 27.
The Phillies allowed five home runs in Thursday's 13-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. They committed four errors in that game and three on Friday.
Philadelphia starter Adam Morgan (1-6) dropped his sixth straight decision, going 4 1/3 innings and allowing seven runs (four earned) and 10 hits, including three home runs. He stuck out eight.
Phillies pitchers have allowed 49 homers since May 20, most in the major leagues.
Cameron Rupp gave the Phillies the early lead with a two-out, two-run triple in the bottom of the first inning, launching a ball that hit off the top of a railing in the stands in right-center field and bounced back toward the infield.
Cody Asche and Tommy Joseph, who earlier in the inning had doubled and walked, respectively, came around to score.
The Diamondbacks answered with two runs in the second to tie it. Jake Lamb, Nick Ahmed and Ray singled with two outs, and when Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez committed an error on Ray's hit, Lamb scored.
Hernandez erred again on a ball off the bat of Jean Segura, allowing another run to cross the plate.
Tomas led off the fourth with his first homer of the night, ripping Morgan's 0-2 fastball into the seats in left to put Arizona ahead.
The Diamondbacks scored four runs in the fifth to make it 7-2. O'Brien's three-run homer, his second home run in six games with Arizona, was the key blow. Tomas followed by lofting Morgan's 1-2 slider deep into the left-field stands.
A botched Philadelphia rundown contributed to the inning. With Castillo at the plate and none out, the Phillies had Michael Bourn trapped between second and third. Joseph, the Philadelphia first baseman, dropped a throw from third baseman Maikel Franco, allowing Bourn to return to second. Paul Goldschmidt remained at first, and after Castillo struck out, O'Brien went deep.
Castillo and O'Brien hit back-to-back homers in the seventh off reliever Elvis Araujo. Goldschmidt added his 13th homer of the season, also off Araujo, in the eighth.
Goldschmidt, 3-for-5 in the game, extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
