LOS ANGELES (AP) β€” Yasiel Puig homered among his four hits, Howie Kendrick singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Arizona 7-6 Wednesday night for their seventh consecutive victory over the Diamondbacks.

Daniel Hudson (1-2) issued consecutive one-out walks to Puig and Adrian Gonzalez before Kendrick’s bloop single to right field gave the Dodgers a three-game sweep.

Puig hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the second, and his four hits tied a career high. He finished a triple short of the cycle.

Yasmani Grandal hit a solo homer for the Dodgers, who have defeated the Diamondbacks nine straight times at home. The latest win gave Los Angeles three consecutive home series sweeps over Arizona dating to last year.
