LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Juan Uribe bashed three of the six homers launched by Los Angeles Monday in the Dodgers' 8-1 victory over Arizona.

He became the first Dodgers third baseman ever to homer three times in a game.

Adrian Gonzalez connected on a two-run blast while Andre Ethier and Hanley Ramirez each clouted a solo shot as Los Angeles recorded six homers in a nine-inning game for the first time since 2002.

Ricky Nolasco (13-9) yielded just one unearned run over 6 2/3 innings, allowing three and one walk while striking out six as the National League West-leading Dodgers reduced their magic number for winning the division to eight.

Diamondbacks starter Randall Delgado (4-6) coughed up four of the Los Angeles long balls, surrendering five runs on seven hits over just 2 2/3 innings.

Didi Gregorius got the only RBI for second-place Arizona, which fell in the first of a three-game series.
