PHOENIX -- Houston right fielder George Springer had three hits, including a homer, and drove in four runs and Luis Valbuena homered in the Astros' 8-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday at Chase Field.

Springer hit a three-run homer in the second inning after Arizona took a 2-0 lead in the first. He also singled in a run in a four-run fourth off Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin (2-5).

Springer doubled on the first pitch of the game and finished a triple short of the cycle. He is 16-for-43 in nine games as the leadoff hitter this season.

Jose Altuve and Jake Marisnick had two hits and an RBI for Houston (24-29), which has won four in a row and seven of eight.

Jake Lamb had two hits and an RBI and Paul Goldschmidt added three hits and a run for the Diamondbacks (23-31), who lost their second in a row and for the sixth time in their last eight games. Arizona is 9-20 at home.

Jean Segura had a two-run double after an error by Altuve in the ninth inning before Luke Gregerson entered to pick up his 13th save.

Right-hander Lance McCullers (2-1) gave up three runs and six hits in five innings. He struck out seven and walked four.

Corbin gave up seven runs and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.

Houston has 19 hits and 14 earned runs against Arizona's starters in the first two games of the home-and-home series, which will continue Wednesday and Thursday in Houston.

Arizona's starting pitchers have a 5.26 ERA this season.

Michael Bourn, Goldschmidt and Lamb singled with one out in the first inning, with Lamb driving in Bourn. Goldschmidt scored on a fielder's choice to make it 2-0.

Marisnick doubled with two outs in the second before McCullers singled. Springer followed with his 12th homer of the season -- an opposite-field fly that just got over the fence for a 3-2 lead.

Valbuena walked before Gomez and Marisnick singled to make it 4-2 to begin the Astros' four-run fourth.

Springer's RBI single to center knocked out Corbin, and Altuve singled off reliever Jake Barrett drove in another run. Springer scored on Evan Gattis' groundout for a 7-2 lead.

Valbuena hit his sixth homer of the season in the fifth.

Bourn walked and scored on a wild pitch in the fifth to make it 8-3. The Diamondbacks had runners on first and second when Lamb hit a ball off the right-center field fence, but Bourn only made it to third after staying at second to tag up.

NOTES: CF Carlos Gomez started after being activated from the disabled list on the first day he was eligible. "I'm coming back at the perfect time, when the team is doing well," Gomez said. "It is more relaxing and more comfortable to do your job." Gomez, hitting .182 entering the game, said he drove from Double-A Corpus Christi to Houston on Sunday and flew to Phoenix on Monday to meet the team. The Astros play the final two games of a home-and-home series against Arizona in Houston on Wednesday-Thursday. ... Arizona LHP Edwin Escobar will remain in the rotation for a second start at the Cubs on Saturday, manager Chip Hale said. Escobar gave up 10 hits and eight runs (seven earned) in 3 1/3 innings in his first major league start on Monday. RHP Shelby Miller (sprained finger) could be ready to return to the rotation the next time through, Hale said. ... The retractable roof at Chase Field was closed for a day game. The temperature at first pitch was 94 degrees. ... Arizona RF David Peralta (wrist) is scheduled to play extended spring training games on Wednesday and Thursday and will rest on Friday, Hale said. Peralta's return this weekend appears unlikely. He has not played since May 7.
