PHOENIX -- One night after letting a five-run lead slip away, Joe Saunders and the Arizona Diamondbacks weren't going to fall victim to another comeback.
Justin Upton and Ryan Roberts homered and every Arizona starter had at least one hit as the Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 on Wednesday night, ending the NL West leaders' six-game winning streak."It makes the beer taste better, for sure," said Saunders, whose broken-bat single was among the Diamondbacks' 14 hits against five Dodgers pitchers. "We would have liked to get two, but to salvage one game out of the series was nice."Willie Bloomquist had three hits, including an RBI triple, and Aaron Hill added three hits and two RBIs as the Diamondbacks won for only the second time in their past 11 home games and snapped a four-game losing streak overall."There wasn't a lot we could do about yesterday," Bloomquist said. "The way we bounced back and got some runs early was impressive. Last night stung a little bit, but you've got to bounce back. There's always a game tomorrow."Saunders (3-3) struck out a season-high seven and scattered seven hits across 6 1/3 innings."We needed for him to go deep in the game," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "Our bullpen needed the rest."More on the Dodgers

Research Notes
Ted Lilly entered Wednesday's game having won an MLB-best eight straight decisions. That all changed on against the Diamondbacks as Arizona chased him after just 3.1 innings - his shortest start since 2010 - having allowed just two fewer earned runs than he did in his last ten starts and 65.2 innings combined.
