SAN DIEGO, June 1 (UPI) -- Steve Finley, Alex Cintron and Danny Bautista had consecutive run-scoring doubles in the sixth inning and rookie Edgar Gonzalez won his major league debut Sunday as the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres, 10-4.

The Diamondbacks erupted for five runs and five hits in the sixth inning and defeated the Padres for the fifth time in seven games this season.

Arizona had a 3-2 lead when Finley doubled home a run. Cintron followed with a two-run double, increasing the Diamondbacks' advantage to 6-2 and chasing San Diego starter Jake Peavy (4-5).

Charles Nagy took the mound and Bautista greeted him with an RBI double. Luis Gonzalez singled home Bautista to cap the rally and open a six-run cushion.

After the Diamondbacks purchased his contract from Class AAA Tuscon of the Pacific Coast League earlier Sunday, Edgar Gonzalez (1-0) allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings. The youngest player currently in the major leagues, the 20-year-old righthander scattered 10 hits, struck out four and walked three.

Rondell White belted his 10th home run of the season, but the Padres lost for the 28th time in 34 games.

Arizona center fielder David Dellucci left in the third inning with a mild concussion after colliding with shortstop Cintron on a pop fly to shallow center field.
