PHOENIX -- Jake Lamb drove in four runs, Chris Owings homered, and Robbie Ray won his fourth consecutive start in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 10-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday at Chase Field.
Lamb hit a two-run double in the first inning and a two-run single in a five-run second inning that was capped by Owings' three-run homer for a 7-0 lead.
Ray (6-3) gave up three hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings to help the D-backs (35-25) break a three-game losing streak. He struck out 11 and walked two.
Padres right fielder Hunter Renfroe hit two bases-empty homers for the Padres (23-36), who have lost three in a row after a five-game winning streak.
Renfroe's homer with two outs in the fourth inning broke up Ray's no-hitter and ended the lefty's scoreless streak at 27 2/3 innings, the third-longest stretch in Arizona history.
Owings' homer was his career-high seventh.
Gregor Blanco had two doubles, scored three runs and stole a base for Arizona.
Blanco doubled to open the first inning and Paul Goldschmidt was hit by a pitch before Lamb's two-run double made it 2-0 off Dinelson Lamet (2-1), making his third major league start.
Chris Herrmann walked and Blanco doubled again to start a five-run second inning. Goldschmidt walked with two outs before Lamb singled to center to drive in two and Owings followed with a three-run homer. It was 7-0.
Renfroe's 12th homer of the season with two outs in the fourth inning was the first hit off Ray.
Daniel Descalso had a two-run single for a 10-1 lead in the fourth inning, a rally that included three walks and an infield error.
Lamet was charged with nine runs (seven earned) on five hits and five walks in three-plus innings.
NOTES: Arizona C Chris Herrmann left the game in the fifth inning due to right hand soreness. ... Arizona recalled RHP Zack Godley and OF Jeremy Hazelbaker from Triple-A Reno when OF Yasmany Tomas (tendinitis) was placed on the 10-day disabled list and RHP Braden Shipley was returned to Reno. Godley will start Saturday, manager Torey Lovullo said. Godley was optioned Wednesday, but he is eligible to return because he is replacing an injured player. ... San Diego RHP Jarred Cosart (elbow) was placed on the disabled list after undergoing an MRI on Monday. The Padres recalled INF/OF Jose Pirela to fill the roster spot. ... Arizona RHP Taijuan Walker (blister) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Wednesday. He made his last start May 19.
