ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves finally scored against Patrick Corbin, then pinch hitter Lane Adams made sure that the Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander wouldn't get another victory against them.

Adams delivered a three-run double in a four-run sixth inning against the Diamondbacks bullpen and the Braves clinched the weekend series with an 8-5 victory Saturday night.

Corbin stretched his scoreless streak against the Braves to 27 2/3 innings before a third-inning homer by Brandon Phillips. He was in line for a fourth victory until the Braves got the best of the Arizona bullpen for the second straight game.

The key two-out hit was by reserve outfielder Adams, who has eight RBIs on his six pinch hits in 25 at-bats this season.

Randall Delgado (1-2) was charged with all four runs in the eighth, allowing three hits and a walk while getting just two outs. Ender Inciarte drove in the last run of the inning with his third hit of the game, making it 6-3.

The Arizona bullpen gave up two more runs, including a pinch homer by Jace Peterson in the eighth inning, as the Braves (44-45) handed the Diamondbacks (53-38) their seventh loss in the past eight games.

It went downhill for Arizona after Daniel Descalso, pinch hitting for Corbin, singled in the tying run off Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz in the sixth. Descalsco scored the lead run on a two-out single by Paul Goldschmidt off reliever Luke Jackson.

Foltynewicz, who labored through 110 pitches, was charged with three runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out six.

Corbin allowed six hits and two runs over five innings. He struck out six and his only one was intentional.

Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 21st save and Ian Krol (2-2) got credit for the victory after retiring the only batter he faced in the sixth.

The Braves went up 2-1 in the fifth inning as Inciarte singled with two outs and scored on a double by Phillips, who had three hits in his first three at-bats.

The Diamondbacks amassed three singles in the first inning. Chris Owings delivered a two-strike RBI hit with two outs, but Arizona left eight runners on base in the first four innings.

The Braves scored against Corbin with one out in the third. Phillips turned on a hanging 3-2 slider and smashed his eighth homer into the left-center field seats.

Corbin's scoreless streak of 27 2/3 innings against the Braves to start his career was the longest in the majors since Houston's Pete Harnish went 29 innings against San Diego in 1991 and 1992.
