Diamondbacks rally twice to beat Dodgers 10-6

Play
PHOENIX -- After losing seven straight games to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Arizona Diamondbacks appeared headed for eight in a row until they pulled off a pair of comebacks Monday night.
Welington Castillo doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Arizona erased a four-run deficit in a 10-6 victory over its NL West rival.
Castillo doubled against reliever Pedro Baez (1-1) to drive in Jake Lamb with none out. The Diamondbacks, who trailed 4-0 and 6-4, added three more runs on a bunt single, a throwing error by Baez, and Paul Goldschmidt's two-out, two-run single off J.P. Howell.
"They came out swinging it and put us in a hole, and our guys answered," Arizona manager Chip Hale said. "I was very proud of the guys not giving up."
The Diamondbacks scored at least two runs in every inning from the fifth through the eighth.
"Winning's fun," Castillo said.
Arizona tied it at 4 on a two-run homer by Yasmany Tomas in the sixth. The first-place Dodgers regained the lead in the seventh on a two-run single by Jimmy Rollins, but Arizona fought back again with David Peralta's two-out, two-run triple in the bottom half.
The home run by Tomas was upheld after an umpire-initiated review that lasted 3 minutes, 30 seconds. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he asked the umpires about fan interference after replays showed a man reaching out with his arms for the ball.
"If the ball is not clearly gone out of the ballpark, I don't know how you can give the guy a home run," Mattingly said. "To me that doesn't seem like it is one that is clear and convincing. It's not about overturning the call, it's really if it is a home run or not."
Tomas smiled when asked about it.
"At first I thought it might be a double and not a home run when I saw it again," he said in Spanish. "The fan reached out his arms but the ball hit him in the upper part of his arms. They made the right call."
Enrique Burgos (1-2) worked a scoreless eighth for the win.
Andre Ethier, Yasmani Grandal and Joc Pederson hit solo home runs for Los Angeles in the fourth. Ethier and Grandal went back-to-back, the third time this season the Dodgers have done so.
Pederson connected for his 20th of the season, and the Dodgers have 100 home runs -- tops in the National League.
Dodgers starter Mike Bolsinger shut out his former team on three hits over four innings with four strikeouts before he was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fifth.
Bolsinger didn't feel well. He said he'd been cramping and vomiting while the team was in Miami on Sunday, likely from something he ate.
The Dodgers took advantage of some early wildness from Diamondbacks starter Allen Webster, drawing walks on eight straight pitches out of the strike zone. Pederson scored on a double-play grounder to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead in the first.
Ethier, a Phoenix native, led off the fourth with a home run that was followed by Grandal's drive. Pederson went deep with two outs, and Webster didn't make it out of the inning.
Goldschmidt's hitting streak reached 10 games.
"We feel like we're better than our record (37-39) right now," Hale said. "We're in a great division with good teams and we need to play like this every night."
TRAINER'S ROOM
Dodgers: OF Carl Crawford, on the 60-day disabled list since April 28 with a right oblique strain, will start a rehab assignment at Class A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday, Mattingly said. Crawford will serve as the DH the first two days and perhaps play in the field on Thursday. He will need more game action before the Dodgers activate him.
Diamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley will see Dr. James Andrews in Alabama on Wednesday for a second opinion on his right shoulder. Bradley is on the 15-day DL and made one rehab start on June 24. ... LHP Patrick Corbin is expected to join the rotation when the Diamondbacks are in Texas next week. Corbin will make a start in the minors this week in his return from 2014 elbow surgery.
UP NEXT
Dodgers: RHP Carlos Frias (5-5, 4.31 ERA) starts Tuesday night against Arizona.
Diamondbacks: RHP Rubby De La Rosa is 0-2 with a 12.60 ERA against the Dodgers this season, with both starts coming in Los Angeles. De La Rosa (6-3) gets another crack at his former team Tuesday, this time at home.

Reds get up by 8 runs, hold on for 11-7 win over Twins

Play
CINCINNATI -- Billy Hamilton ran the Minnesota Twins into a hole so big they couldn't get out of it.
The speedy leadoff hitter scored three times in the first three innings to help Cincinnati open a huge lead, and the Reds held on for an 11-7 victory over the Twins on Monday night.
It all started with Hamilton, who got on base four times overall and didn't hesitate to take off. He wound up with four steals.
"That's fun," he said. "Getting those four stolen bases gives me a lot of confidence."
The Reds sent 10 batters to the plate for five runs and a 9-1 lead in the third inning, when Mike Pelfrey (5-5) failed to retire any of the four batters he faced. Pelfrey gave up eight runs -- matching his season high -- and nine hits, retiring only six of 17 batters.
Cincinnati's Mike Leake let most of the lead slip away. Ten Twins batted during a six-run rally in the top of the fourth inning. Brian Dozier's three-run homer off Leake cut it to 9-7.
Leake sat around during the Reds' big inning -- he contributed a sacrifice bunt -- and had trouble with his control when he got back on the mound.
"Well, I got a little bored, but that's no excuse," Leake said, referring to the Reds' 10-batter rally. "I just elevated some balls that they took advantage of it. They put a good inning together."
Nate Adcock (1-1) got the victory with two scoreless innings following Leake's exit. Cincinnati's bullpen did not allow a hit in five innings of relief.
"We didn't let this one get away," manager Bryan Price said. "I think for a while there, you had the sinking feeling that we were going to let this one get away."
The Twins haven't overcome an eight-run deficit to win a game since 1929, when they were the Washington Senators, according to STATS. They couldn't pull it off on Monday as the Reds matched their season high with 17 hits.
Every Cincinnati position player had at least one hit, and seven different players scored. The Reds had at least one hit in each inning.
Hamilton reached in each of his first four plate appearances on a pair of infield singles and two walks. His four steals gave him 40 for the season, most in the majors.
Tucker Barnhart had a career-high four hits and drove in a pair of runs. Eugenio Suarez, who is filling in at shortstop with Zack Cozart out for the season, had three hits and drove in three runs.
AGAINST THAT OTHER LEAGUE
The Twins are 7-9 in interleague play this season. The Reds are 4-8.
RESCHEDULED
The Reds' home game against Detroit that was rained out on June 18 will be made up on Monday, Aug. 24.
STEALING FOUR
It was the third time in his career that Hamilton stole at least four bases in a game. He stole five bases on June 14 at Wrigley Field, matching the club record.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Twins: RHP Ricky Nolasco will see another specialist about his sore right ankle, which has sidelined him since the start of June.
Reds: C Devin Mesoraco had surgery on his left hip Monday as planned. He's been on the disabled list since June 25. ... 2B Brandon Phillips was out of the lineup with two sore hands. ... RHP Raisel Iglesias, sidelined since June 5 by a strained oblique, will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday.
UP NEXT
Twins: Phil Hughes (6-6) makes his first career appearance against the Reds. He's 9-4 in interleague play with a 3.82 ERA.
Reds: Anthony DeSclafani (5-5) makes his first appearance against the Twins. He has given up seven runs in 11 innings during his last two starts.
