Tony Gwynn went 3-for-5 with two RBI and Andre Ethier drove in a run for the Dodgers, who trailed 5-0 at the end of five innings.

Josh Lindblom (2-0) got the win in relief of Aaron Harang. Kenley Jansen was credited with his sixth save.

Lyle Overbay had four hits for Arizona, including a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth. Justin Upton and Josh Bell had two RBI apiece.

The Diamondbacks were beset by two blown saves in the game. Bryan Shaw lost one lead and J.J. Putz (0-3) blew the other opportunity and also took the loss.
