D’backs hit 3 homers in 8-4 win

PHOENIX >> Eduardo Escobar and Alex Avila both homered and drove in three runs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks came from behind for an 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.

David Peralta also homered for Arizona, which has won three of four as it fights for a National League wild-card spot.

The Diamondbacks scored five runs off Phillies relievers Ranger Suarez and Blake Parker and turned a 3-2 deficit into a comfortable lead. Andrew Chafin (1-2) worked twothirds of an inning to get the win, with Suarez (3-1) the losing pitcher.

Mike Leake, in his Diamondbacks debut after being acquired in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on July 31, allowed two earned runs on 11 hits. The Diamondbacks won despite committing three errors, two by first baseman Christian Walker.

Philadelphia’s Jake Arrieta left with a lead, charged with two runs on five hits with five strikeouts in five innings. Adam Haseley had a career-high three hits for the Phillies and drove in two runs, and Jean Segura added three hits.

It didn’t start well for Leake, who played in college at nearby Arizona State. Corey Dickerson ripped Leake’s third pitch of the game into the overhang in right center field for his seventh career leadoff home run.

Nick Ahmed’s attempt to throw out Jean Segura on a grounder wide of shortstop resulted in a two-base error in the fourth inning, and Segura came home on Haseley’s single for a 2-0 lead.
