D'Backs Rout Dodgers

Arizona manager Buck Showalter got his 500th career win as the Travis Lee and Andy Fox each had four RBIs Monday night to lead the Diamondbacks to a 15-7 rout of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Arizona, which won its fifth straight, scored five runs each in the first, fourth and fifth innings, and had 20 hits, tying the team's high for a nine-inning game.

The Diamondbacks, who started play in 1998, set a season high for runs and at 22-10 surpassed Atlanta (21-10) for best record in the National League.

Steve Finley and Fox hit two-run homers in the fifth inning, and Tony Womack hit a solo homer in the fourth. Finley's was his 12th, leaving him tied with Chicago's Sammy Sosa for the NL lead.

Showalter, who began his managerial career with the New York Yankees, improved his career record to 500-437.

Omar Daal (1-3) won despite allowing six runs and six hits in seven innings, allowing two-run homers by Adrian Beltre and Todd Hundley.

Chan Ho Park (3-3) was pounded for eight runs and nine hits in 3 1-3 innings.

Reliever Matt Herges, who had not allowed an earned run in 19 1-3 innings over 12 relief appearances this year, gave up seven runs in 1 2-3 innings.

Arizona took a 5-0 lead in the first on an RBI groundout by Luis Gonzalez, Lee's two-run single and RBI singles by Fox and Daal.

Hundley's homer in the fourth closed the gap to 5-4, but the Diamondbacks then scored 10 unanswered runs before Beltre drove in a run with a sixth-inning groundout.
