Tomas, Hill homer in D-backs' 8-4 win over Dodgers
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}LOS ANGELES (AP) Paul Goldschmidt homered after Yasmany Tomas and Aaron Hill gave the Diamondbacks the lead with longballs off Brett Anderson, and Arizona beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 Monday night.
The Dodgers' loss in the opener of this four-game series kept their magic number for clinching a third straight NL West title at seven, with second-place San Francisco idle.
Jhoulys Chacin (1-1) allowed two runs, six hits and four walks over 5 1-3 innings in his fourth start for the Diamondbacks, one day after they were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention. The seven-year veteran right-hander posted his first win in the majors since June 12, 2014, with Colorado.
