Justin Upton added two hits, including a bases-empty home run, and Miguel Montero drove in a pair for the Diamondbacks, who clinched their three-game series and picked up their third win in four games.

Duke (2-3) earned his first career win in Milwaukee after going 0-6 there previously, holding the Brewers to two runs on five hits, issuing a pair of walks and fanning one.

Randy Wolf (6-6) was tagged with the loss, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits before leaving after six innings.

Prince Fielder belted his 22nd homer and added a run-scoring single for the Brewers, who played their third straight game without injured all-star outfielder Ryan Braun (strained calf).

Milwaukee lost for the seventh time in eight games and fell into third place in the National League Central, two games behind the first-place St. Louis Cardinals.
