Diamondbac­ks overcome six home runs from Reds

- By The Associated Press

David Peralta hit a three-run triple in a six-run 10th inning to finish with five hits and a career-best seven RBIs, and Arizona overcame six Cincinnati home runs to beat the Reds 1411 Thursday in Cincinnati.

Carson Kelly followed Peralta with a two-run homer as the Diamondbac­ks opened a 14-8 lead. Arizona hung on in the bottom half to complete a three-game sweep that extended its winning streak to four and boosted its record to 9-10.

“I’m real happy with what we did,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “We won three games in a tough environmen­t in about 40 hours. I’m real proud of the guys.”

The Reds lost their fourth straight.

Cincinnati’s Jesse Winker had his third career two-homer game, Nick Castellano­s hit his sixth home run of the season as he returned from a two-game suspension and Eugenio Suárez, Joey Votto and Jonathan India also went deep. All of the Reds’ home runs came from among the top four spots in the batting order.

Peralta tied his career high with his third five-hit game. He hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning, had three singles and finished a double short of the cycle. He raised his average from .213 to .269.
