The winner was starter Chris Volstad (3-3).

Closer Matt Lindstrom earned his eighth save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Arizona scored on Chris Snyder's fifth-inning two-run homer, Chad Tracy's seventh-inning solo shot, an RBI groundout by Stephen Drew and an RBI single by Gerardo Parra.

The losing pitcher was starter Doug Davis (2-6).
