PHOENIX — Chris Heisey hit two of Cincinnati's four late homers, including a tying shot in the seventh inning, to rally the Reds to a 6-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday. Dioner Navarro's solo shot two batters after Heisey's two-run drive put Cincinnati ahead. Brandon Phillips added a two-run homer in the eighth and Heisey capped the scoring with a solo homer two outs later. The NL Central leaders swept the three-game series and sent the reeling Diamondbacks to their sixth straight home loss. Mat Latos (11-4) pitched seven innings, allowing two runs and five hits with seven strikeouts. He also had two hits in his first win since Aug. 3 against Pittsburgh and his first at Arizona since August 2010. Cincinnati trailed 2-0 until the seventh, shut out on two hits by Patrick Corbin (5-6). Todd Frazier doubled with one out and scored on Heisey's fifth home run. The Diamondbacks lost eight of 10 on their homestand. Dodgers 10, Rockies 8: Joe Blanton pitched effectively into the eighth inning for his first win with Los Angeles and A.J. Ellis hit his first career grand slam in a victory over Colorado. Hanley Ramirez, another midseason acquisition by the Dodgers, homered in his second straight game to help Los Angeles overcome Matt Kemp's absence and withstand Colorado's seven-run eighth. Kemp sat out because of a bone bruise on his left knee and a sore jaw after he crashed into the outfield wall the night before. He is day to day. Blanton (9-12), who was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in four previous starts since joining the Dodgers in an Aug. 3 trade with Philadelphia, struck out five in 7 1-3 innings. It was his first win since July 16 when he beat the Dodgers for the Phillies. Ronald Belisario got five outs for his first save since Sept. 29, 2010, also against Colorado. Pirates 5, Cardinals 0: Pedro Alvarez kept up his recent tear, hitting his 26th homer and driving in three runs as Pittsburgh rolled to a victory over St. Louis. Alvarez, who homered twice Tuesday, added to his season-long dominance of the Cardinals. His three-run shot in the third gave him seven home runs and 23 RBIs in 15 games against St. Louis this year as the Pirates moved within one game of the NL's second wild-card spot. In other games it was: Nationals 8, Marlins 4; Padres 8, Braves 2; Mets 3, Phillies 2; Brewers 3, Cubs 1; Giants 6, Astros 4; NY Mets 3, Philadelphia 2; San Francisco 6, Houston 4. — Agencies
