A first-inning home run off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt once again gave the Arizona Diamondbacks an early lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Only this time, it lasted.

With Bronson Arroyo on the mound, the Diamondbacks grabbed a 6-3 series finale win over their division rivals, salvaging a win in the final contest of the road trip.

They snapped a four-game losing streak in the process, as they entered the game having lost five of their last six games.

Arroyo lasted just 5.0 innings, but gave up just one earned run, exiting after throwing 78 pitches.

His counterpart, Josh Beckett, went 7.0 innings, giving up three earned runs.

Here’s a look at the win by the numbers:
