CINCINNATI -- Adam Duvall's single with the bases loaded in the 11th inning drove home Billy Hamilton with the winning run, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night at Great American Ball Park.
Zack Cozart homered for Cincinnati (40-54), which had lost five straight games since the All-Star break by a combined 46-14.
With one out in the 11th inning and T.J. McFarland pitching, Hamilton singled and Cozart followed with what initially appeared to be a game-ending two-base hit. Instead, the ball bounced into the stands for a ground-rule double, keeping runners at second and third. Joey Votto was intentionally walked to load the bases. Duvall laced a single to right for the game-winner.
McFarland (4-2) allowed a run on four hits in one inning. Michael Lorenzen (5-2) allowed a walk and had two strikeouts over two innings to earn the victory.
David Peralta homered for Arizona (54-40), which has lost six of seven.
The Diamondbacks got a scare in the fourth inning when newly acquired right fielder J.D. Martinez left the game after being hit on the left hand while swinging for strike three. X-rays were negative, and he is listed as day-to-day. Martinez was acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.
Reds right-hander Raisel Iglesias issued his first walk in 12 games, but it was the only D-backs baserunner through his 1 2/3 scoreless innings to set up extras.
Arizona starter Zack Greinke pitched five innings, allowing three runs and eight hits over 104 pitches.
Cincinnati's Tim Adleman pitched past the fifth inning for the first time since June 16, giving up three runs and seven hits with no walks and seven strikeouts in six innings.
The Reds got on the board in the first inning when Hamilton reached on an infield single, stole his 40th base of the season, and scored on Cozart's single.
The Diamondbacks, who had nine extra-base hits Tuesday night, tied the score 1-1 in the third when Mathis doubled and scored on Peralta's double.
Cozart's 11th home run of the season, a solo shot just inside the left field foul pole, put the Reds ahead 2-1 in the third.
Cincinnati led 3-1 after Tucker Barnhart's RBI single in the fourth.
Arizona tied the score in the fifth. Peralta hit a solo home run, his ninth of the season, and Jake Lamb added an RBI double.
NOTES: Arizona placed OF Rey Fuentes on the 10-day disabled list with a left thumb contusion, which opened a roster spot for newly acquired OF J.D. Martinez. ... Reds C Devin Mesoraco was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list, and RHP Lisalverto Bonilla was optioned to Triple-A. Mesoraco had been out due to a left shoulder strain. ... Arizona fell into the second wild card spot in the National League, one-half game behind Colorado and five ahead of the Chicago Cubs.
