Dodgers 9, Diamondbacks 3: Juan Uribe and Adrian Gonzalez each homered and Matt Kemp went 4-for-4 with three RBIs as visiting Los Angeles snapped its four-game losing streak.

Uribe’s two-run blast capped a four-run first inning for the Dodgers, who cut their magic number to clinch the National League West to two with 11 games to play. Zack Greinke (15-3) yielded two runs with five strikeouts over six frames and remained unbeaten over his last 10 starts.

The Dodgers added to their lead in the third when Hanley Ramirez drew a leadoff walk and Adrian Gonzalez followed with his 21st homer off Patrick Corbin (14-7), who surrendered six runs on seven hits over two innings in the shortest start of his career.

Kemp started his first game since landing on the disabled list July 21 and had two singles and two doubles to help the Dodgers win for the fourth time in their last 13 games. Ramirez returned to the starting lineup after missing the last four games with back pain and went 1-for-2 with three walks and three runs scored.

Aaron Hill homered among his two hits and Paul Goldschmidt added two hits for Arizona, which has lost six of its last eight games against Los Angeles. J.J. Putz worked a scoreless ninth inning in his first appearance since dislocating his right little finger Aug. 23.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The Dodgers had Ramirez and Kemp in the lineup together for only the 13th time this season. … Arizona LHP Matt Reynolds will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday. … Los Angeles RHP Stephen Fife will start Wednesday in place of ace Clayton Kershaw, who is being given three extra days of rest before facing San Diego on Saturday. RHP Brandon McCarthy takes the mound for Arizona.
