PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Jordan Lawlar<\/a> hit a two-run homer and had a career-high three RBIs, Eduardo Rodriguez<\/a> threw 5 2\/3 strong innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> beat the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> 9-0 on Friday night to keep pace in the National League playoff race.<\/p>\n

The D-backs remain a game behind the San Diego Padres<\/a> for the final NL wild-card spot.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Lawlar had the first three-hit game of his career while Geraldo Perdomo<\/a> also had a three hits. Gabriel Moreno<\/a>, Tim Tawa<\/a> and Corbin Carroll<\/a> all had two hits. Lawlar\u2019s two-run shot to left field in the second gave the D-backs a 3-0 lead and was the center fielder\u2019s second homer in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez (13-4) continued his brilliant season, giving up four hits and two walks while striking out four. The left-handed All-Star lowered his ERA to 2.61.<\/p>\n

The Reds have dropped six of their past eight games.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati left-hander Nick Lodolo<\/a> (3-3) was hit hard, giving up six runs on 10 hits and two walks over 3 1\/3 innings. The D-backs scored at least one run in each of the first four innings, building a 6-0 lead by the fifth.<\/p>\n

Arizona stole four bases in the first two innings, which happened for just the fourth time in franchise history.<\/p>\n

Reds left fielder Michael Toglia<\/a> left the game in the first inning because of a dislocated right shoulder. Toglia made a diving catch on Geraldo Perdomo<\/a>\u2019s fly ball in the gap, but landed hard on the shoulder and left the field with medical personnel.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks send RHP Michael Soroka<\/a> (8-3, 2.93 ERA) to the mound on Saturday vs. Reds RHP Rhett Lowder<\/a> (4-8, 5.17).<\/p>\n
