Corbin Carroll broke a tie with an opposite-field grand slam in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks extended their winning streak to four games with a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Phoenix on Saturday.
Ildemaro Vargas singled off Jeff Hoffman (1-2) to open the eighth, extending his season-opening hitting streak to a franchise-record 14 games.
Alek Thomas singled and Ketel Marte walked to bring up Carroll, who hit his fourth career grand slam on a 3-1 fastball.
The D-backs, who have won eight of 10, lead the majors with 10 comeback victories.Geraldo Perdomo had three singles and an RBI and Thomas had two hits for the Diamondbacks, who had eight hits.
Nathan Lukes had three hits, Kazuma Okamoto had two hits and an RBI, and Ernie Clement and Eloy Jimenez had two hits apiece for the Blue Jays, who have lost six of seven and 12 of 15.
Juan Morillo (1-1) struck out Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a 100 mph fastball with a runner on first to end the seventh and keep the game tied at 2. He allowed one hit and struck out two over 1 1/3 innings of relief.
Toronto starter Max Scherzer gave up two runs on five hits in six innings, with one strikeout and one walk.
Arizona starter Zac Gallen permitted two runs and nine hits, leaving after Okamato's single tied the game at 2 with two outs in the sixth. He struck out three with no walks.
Lukes, Guerrero and Jesus Sanchez singled in the top of the first, with Sanchez's one-out single driving in Lukes for a 1-0 lead. Guerrero has a nine-game hitting streak.
The D-Backs tied it in their half of the first when Carroll walked, stole second and scored on Perdomo's single. Thomas grounded a two-out double inside the bag at first to drive in Jose Fernandez, who had singled, to give Arizona a 2-1 lead in the fifth.
Toronto tied it in the sixth after an apparent double play was changed after a review. Jimenez singled with one out, and Gallen appeared to get out of the inning when Andres Gimenez grounded to Fernandez to start what originally was called an inning-ending double play.
Perdomo was ruled to have missed the bag on the play, leaving Jimenez at second, and he scored on Okamoto's single to tie the game.
