National League Game Summary - Los Angeles at Arizona

Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Paul Goldschmidt drove in two runs to cap a four-run rally in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-6 on Monday.

Jake Lamb led off the decisive frame with a walk and Welington Castillo followed with a double to the wall in center, scoring the go-ahead run without a throw. Castillo moved to third on Chris Owings' bunt, and he scored when Pedro Baez (1-1) fielded the ball and threw wide of first base.

Facing J.P. Howell with the bases loaded, Goldschmidt delivered a pair of insurance runs with a single that fell in front of Andre Ethier in left field. Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 10 games earlier in the contest.

The Diamondbacks trailed 4-0 early on after LA's starting pitcher Mike Bolsinger limited them to three hits over four innings. But Bolsinger departed after that with flu-like symptoms, and Arizona roughed up the Dodgers' bullpen, scoring two runs apiece in three straight innings from the fifth to seventh and four in the eighth.

The win snapped a seven-game losing skid against Los Angeles.

The Dodgers roughed up Arizona starter Allen Webster. Joc Pederson scored the game's first run in the top of the first inning, coming home on Adrian Gonzalez's double-play ground ball. Pederson, Ethier and Yasmani Grandal all homered in the fourth to make it 4-0.

Owings singled with one out against Joel Peralta in the fifth, leading to Nick Ahmed's two-run blast that cut LA's lead to 4-2. An inning later, Goldschmidt's single preceded Yasmany Tomas' homer that umpires confirmed following a video review.

Los Angeles responded a half-inning later. Gonzalez drew a leadoff walk against Andrew Chafin and Ethier doubled to put the duo in scoring position. After Grandal was walked intentionally, Jimmy Rollins singled to right to make it 6-4.

But David Peralta erased the two-run lead in the home seventh, ripping a triple to the wall in center to score Cliff Pennington and A.J. Pollock.

"We did a great job answering," Arizona manager Chip Hale said. "I was proud of the guys not giving up."

Enrique Burgos (1-2) got the win for pitching a scoreless top of the eighth inning, and Brad Ziegler finished it.
