Bullpen report
Edubray Ramos (0-4) relieved Eickhoff to start the seventh and allowed a leadoff single to Rey Fuentes. Reliever Jorge De La Rosa attempted to sacrifice, but catcher Andrew Knapp pounced on the ball just in front of the plate. His throw to second was late, however, putting two on with none out.
Daniel Descalso rolled an RBI single through the right side of the infield, but the D-backs ahead and ending Ramos' day.
Casey Fien came on to fan David Peralta, but Paul Goldschmidt smoked a first-pitch curveball into the gap in left-center field for a two-run double, making it 4-1.
Brandon Drury tacked on an RBI single with two down.
De La Rosa (3-1) picked up the victory by working 2/3 of an inning. The Phillies loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh against J.J. Hoover, but Andrew Chafin retired Michael Saunders on a liner to Goldschmidt at first base.
It was the second time the Phillies left the bases loaded in the game. They also stranded runners at second and third in the third and left 12 runners on base in all.
T.J. McFarland, the fifth Arizona pitcher, finished up with two scoreless innings.
At the plate
Saunders snapped an 0-for-19 slump with a fourth-inning single, then doubled Maikel Franco to third in the sixth. Knapp followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1-1.
It was Saunders' 11th multihit game of the season, and first since May 28.
