PHOENIX, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Augie Ojeda put Arizona in front with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly Friday and the Diamondbacks won their fourth straight with a 4-3 decision over Houston.
Houston produced a run to tie it in the seventh when Brian Bogusevic raced home from third on a double-play grounder off the bat of Angel Sanchez.
The Diamondbacks struck for the winning run an inning later, when Ryan Roberts hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a groundout by Gerardo Parra and scored when Ojeda came on as a pinch hitter and lifted a fly ball to center.
That made a winner out of reliever Aaron Heilman (5-5), who was lifted when Ojeda hit for him in the eighth. Heilman allowed a hit in his only inning of work.
Juan Gutierrez worked a perfect ninth for his seventh save.
Wilton Lopez (1-5) gave up the winning run in the eighth.
