<p>PHOENIX (AP) — Corbin Carroll and Ildemaro Vargas each hit a three-run homer, Eduardo Rodriguez threw six quality innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Boston Red Sox 10-5 on Friday night.</p>
<p>The surging D-backs have won seven of their last nine games, including three straight, to stay on the fringe of the National League wild-card race. Arizona improved to 71-71 for the season, climbing back to .500 for the first time since July 20.</p>
<p>Boston has lost two straight and is a half-game behind the New York Yankees for second place in the AL East.</p>
<p>Arizona scored four runs in the eighth off reliever Justin Slaten, turning a tight game into a comfortable win. With two outs, Geraldo Perdomo's RBI single made it 7-5 and Carroll's three-run shot to right field made it 10-5.</p>
<p>It was Carroll's 30th homer of the season.</p>
<p>Perdomo also had a solo homer as part of a four-hit night. Rodriguez (7-8) gave up one run on four hits and two walks, striking out four.</p>
<p>Boston trailed 6-1 after seven innings, but used a four-run eighth to briefly make it close. Alex Bregman had a two-run double, Romy Gonzalez contributed a sacrifice fly and Rob Refsnyder added an RBI double during the rally.</p>
<p>Red Sox rookie Peyton Tolle (0-1) was roughed up in his second big league start after a stellar debut on Aug. 29. The burly 6-foot-6 left-hander gave up five runs on five hits and four walks over three innings. He struck out two.</p>
<p>Vargas hit his three-run homer in the third, crushing a fastball into the left-field seats. The big blow came after Tolle issued consecutive walks to Gabriel Moreno and Blaze Alexander.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Diamondbacks reliever Andrew Saalfrank struck out Nate Eaton to end the top of the eighth and preserve a 6-5 lead.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>The 25-year-old Carroll already has 81 career homers.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>The Diamondbacks will throw RHP Brandon Pfaadt (12-8, 5.33 ERA) against Red Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (10-2, 3.38) on Saturday night.</p>
