MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Collmenter sympathized with the Minnesota Twins after stifling their batters. "Sometimes you can get them to take not desperation swings, but almost frustrated swings just because they want to hit something," the Arizona left-hander said after holding the Twins to two runs and five hits in the Diamondbacks 6-2 win Monday night. Collmenter and the last-place Diamondbacks certainly know that feeling well. For one night anyway, they were able to reverse the roles as Collmenter pitched six strong innings for his career-best 11th win, Mark Trumbo homered and the Diamondbacks snapped their six-game losing streak. One of the teams few bright spots, Collmenter (11-8) has allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts, matching the longest streak of his career. Hes 3-1 during that span and should get at least one more start before Arizonas otherwise dismal season ends. "Try to make it an even dozen I guess," Collmenter said. Trumbos two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco (5-12) capped a five-run fifth for the Diamondbacks, who are 7-11 in interleague play. Nearly all the hitters in Minnesotas lineup faced Collmenter for the first time in their careers, and it showed. The right-hander gave up five hits, struck out five and breezed through the first two innings before giving up an RBI single to Chris Herrmann in the third. Kurt Suzuki doubled off Collmenter in the seventh and scored on an RBI single by Josmil Pinto off reliever Oliver Perez. That was all the Twins could manage against Collmenter, and Minnesota reached 90 losses for the fourth straight year since winning the AL Central in 2010. Arizona batted around in the fifth against Nolasco, who hasnt won since July 1 and is 0-5 in eight starts since coming off the disabled list last month. Nolasco allowed five runs and nine hits while striking out five in 4 2-3 innings. He has six straight losses in his last nine starts. "Theres nothing I can do thats going to make me OK for the off-season," Nolasco said. "Its been a terrible year. Just trying to finish healthy." Didi Gregorius had an RBI double and scored on a wild pitch to give the Diamondbacks a 3-1 lead. Two batters later, with A.J. Pollock on base, Trumbo sent a slider from Nolasco 407 feet into the right-centre seats to make it 5-1. Trumbo is hitting .289 with three doubles, four homers and 16 RBIs in his last 11 games. "You get some results it helps you be more confident and hes swinging the bat pretty dangerously right now," manager Kirk Gibson said. BATTERS INTERFERENCE David Peralta was called out for batters interference in the fifth when home plate umpire Gary Cederstrom said he stood in front of Suzuki as Pollock slid into second. Pollock stole second on Trumbos subsequent at-bat -- not that it mattered anyway with Trumbos homer. "Suzuki took it right off the finger pretty good," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. TRAINERS ROOM Diamondbacks DH Aaron Hill dislocated the tip of his right pinky finger sliding into home in the eighth and is day-to-day. Hill was icing the finger after the game and said it felt good. "My right hand went right in the hole there, its kind of, why not, huh?" he said with a laugh. GREAT GREGORIUS Gregorius had three doubles after starting the day with six on the season. He went 3 for 4 with an RBI to raise his batting average to .220. Gregorius has reached base in seven of his last nine games. "It felt better because we got a W so as long as you can contribute and help the team one way or the other, that always helps," Gregorius said. UP NEXT Diamondbacks LHP Andrew Chafin (0-0) tries for his first win in his third-career start. Chafin has a 1.64 ERA in two starts. Hell face Twins RHP Kyle Gibson (12-11), who is 0-4 with a 7.59 ERA in four career interleague games. JJ Arcega-Whiteside Jersey .A.

Everth Cabreras bunt single in the first inning was the only hit Wednesday by the Padres, who still beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 thanks to Francisco Lirianos wildness. "Thats Padres baseball right there," Cabrera said with a big grin. The Padres hit only two balls out of the infield: one that was caught by an outfielder and the other was a sacrifice fly that was caught by second baseman Josh Harrison in short right. "There are lot of ways to win a baseball game and that was one of them," said manager Bud Black, who has presided over two of the three victories in franchise history in which the Padres had only one hit. San Diego won 1-0 at San Francisco on April 20, 2010, when Jonathan Sanchez and Sergio Romo combined on a one-hitter. San Diego beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on July 19, 1975, when Steve Stone and Tom Dettore had a combined one-hitter. "You never know whats going to happen in a big league game," Black said. "Anytime you win its great, but when you win a game like that where you only get one knock, its a pretty good one. Feel good about it." The Padres played ultimate small-ball, scoring on a sacrifice fly, an error and a bases-loaded walk to avoid a three-game sweep. Rene Riveras fly to Andrew McCutcheon to end the eighth was the only ball fielded by a Pirates outfielder. "Nobody can beat us when we go 23 outs before the first one goes to the outfield," Black cracked. Carlos Quentin hit a sacrifice fly in the first, but it was caught in short right by Harrison. Ian Kennedy (5-6) won his third straight start, striking out seven and allowing two runs on five hits in six innings. He walked one. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 18th save in as many chances. Three Pirates pitchers issued nine walks, two intentional, and hit one batter. The Padres struck out 10 times. San Diego has only 12 hits in its last four games. "I dont think I have ever been a part of that situation where you lose a close game on one hit, albeit a bunt," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Although, they did have a bunch of baserunners." Liriano (1-6) walked six and struck out seven in five innings.dddddddddddd He walked the bases loaded in the fourth inning and then walked Chris Denorfia to give the Padres a 3-1 lead. San Diego took a 2-0 lead in the first. Denorfia drew a leadoff walk, stole second and took third when Cabrera beat out a push bunt for a single. Quentin hit the sacrifice fly caught by Harrison. His throw home was well up the third-base line. After Chase Headley was hit by a pitch, Cabrera scored on Harrisons throwing error on Tommy Medicas grounder. "We had a runner on second base. We dont hit it that much," Cabrera said. "I had Carlos Quentin behind me and I was thinking, Put the ball in play. Push bunt and thats it. "The most important thing is that we won the game," Cabrera said. "It doesnt matter how." Said Liriano: "It just got a little confusing. He put it in the right spot, it was a good bunt. I wasnt expecting a bunt on a 3-2 count." Pittsburgh pulled to 2-1 on Andrew McCutcheons homer to left leading off the fourth, his sixth. The Pirates added another run in the fifth when Harrison doubled in Jordy Mercer, who was aboard on a leadoff single.
