LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Red-hot rookie Joc Pederson hit a tying solo homer in the seventh and Howie Kendrick singled home the go-ahead run two batters later, rallying the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.

Justin Turner also homered for the two-time defending NL West champions, who are 14-0 when scoring four or more runs — compared with 1-8 when they get three or fewer.

Diamondbacks right-hander Jeremy Hellickson allowed three runs and six hits over 5 1-3 innings, leaving with a 4-3 lead, thanks to Aaron Hill's tiebreaking leadoff homer in the fourth and Paul Goldschmidt's two-run shot in the first.

But the Dodgers pulled ahead against Evan Marshall (0-1).

Juan Nicasio (1-1) pitched three perfect innings in relief of starter Scott Baker to get the win and Chris Hatcher got three outs for his second save since closer Kenley Jansen went on the disabled list.

Pederson, who got his first career grand slam in Friday night's series-opening 8-0 win, hit the first pitch over the centre field wall with two out for his sixth of the season and third in three games since he was moved from eighth in the lineup to leadoff. Turner then doubled and scored on Kendrick's hit to right field.

Jimmy Rollins added an insurance run with an RBI single in the eighth, after entering the game in the seventh as a pinch-hitter. It was only his second RBI in his last 63 at-bats.

The game ended when pinch-hitter David Peralta's groundball toward the middle hit baserunner Jordan Pacheco for the final out. The same thing happened just hours earlier in the Los Angeles Angels' loss to the Giants.

Baker threw 83 pitches through four innings, allowing four runs and seven hits including Hill's first homer of the season and Goldschmidt's sixth. Goldschmidt ranks first among all players in home runs (16), RBIs (52), hits (76) and extra base hits (30) against the Dodgers since the start of the 2011 season.

The Diamondbacks took a 3-2 lead in the second.

The Dodgers pulled even in the third on a Scott Van Slyke two-out RBI single. It extended his hitting streak to 10 games, matching the longest of his big league career.

TRAINER'S ROOM:

Diamondbacks: Rookie RHP Archie Bradley, who has been on the disabled list since getting hit in the face with a line drive off the bat of Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez last Tuesday, threw a bullpen session Saturday.

Dodgers: Jansen, recovering from surgery on his left foot, is expected to make his second rehab appearance for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. The Dodgers are targeting him for a return to the active roster on May 15. ... LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu also will throw off a mound Sunday — in the bullpen — and will accompany the team on its road trip to Milwaukee, where he will take part in a simulated game as he works his way back from an impingement in his shoulder.

UP NEXT

Diamondbacks: RHP Chase Anderson (1-3) is coming off a 5-4 loss to Colorado in which he allowed five runs in 5 1-3 innings after getting no-decisions in his first three starts.

Dodgers: LHP Brett Anderson (1-1) matches up against his namesake for the second time this season. The other time, he had a no-decision in the Dodgers' 10-inning 5-4 loss at Phoenix on April 10.
