LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- A bases-loaded walk to Andre Ethier brought in the eventual winning run Tuesday in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 4-3 victory over Arizona.

Ethier was the third player walked by Leo Rosales (1-1) in the seventh inning, which also included a double by Rafael Furcal.

Matt Kemp had a solo home run for Los Angeles, who won for the fifth time in its last seven games and leads the National League West by 5 ½ games.

Arizona's Justin Upton had three hits and extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

Ronald Belisario (3-3) got the win in relief of Vicente Padilla. Jonathan Broxton picked up his 30th save.

Padilla, who lasted 5 1/3 innings, drove in a run in the third inning as Los Angeles grabbed a 3-1 lead. The Diamondbacks tied it in the sixth in RBI singles by Rusty Ryal and John Hester.
