LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Patrick Corbin and three relievers combined on a two-hit shutout Wednesday, carrying Arizona to a series-sweeping 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Corbin (3-4), making his sixth major league start, dominated the Dodgers on just two hits over six innings, retiring the final eight batters he faced. The 23-year-old left-hander issued a pair of walks and struck out five for the Diamondbacks, who pulled off their first three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium since 2007.

Brad Ziegler, David Hernandez and J.J. Putz finished up the whitewash with one scoreless frame each.

Miguel Montero drove in three runs with a second-inning single and a two-run homer in the eighth while Chris Johnson added a solo shot for the Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers' Stephen Fife (0-1) fell in his third big-league start, yielding two runs on six hits over 4 1/3 frames.

Second-place Los Angeles came into the contest trailing the San Francisco Giants by one game in the National League West.
