MIAMI (AP) -- Chase Anderson allowed four hits in a career-high eight innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks dealt the Miami Marlins their sixth straight loss with a 6-1 victory on Wednesday night.
David Peralta drove in three runs and A.J. Pollock stole second, third and home, finishing with three of the Diamondbacks' six stolen bases. He had three hits and scored four times.
Anderson (1-1) picked up his first win of the season in eight starts. He walked one while striking out two. Anderson pitched into the ninth and left the bases loaded with nobody out, but Brad Ziegler was able to finish off the Marlins allowing just one run to score.
 
Anderson pitches Diamondbacks past Marlins, 6-1
 
The Marlins have lost nine of 10 overall and all three games under new manager Dan Jennings.
David Phelps (2-1) allowed four runs, five hits, and three walks in five innings.
The retractable roof was open for the second straight night. Miami is 1-3 with the roof open.
A groundout by Peralta opened the scoring and Nick Ahmed doubled down the third-base line with the infield in to give Arizona a 2-0 lead. Anderson's groundout scored Ahmed.
The Diamondbacks pushed the lead to 4-0 after Pollock stole home as Phelps (2-1) threw to first in an attempt to pick off Peralta, who was on his way to second base. First baseman Michael Morse's throw home was late.
Pollock also stole second and third base and scored on a sacrifice fly by Peralta in the seventh. Pollock is the first Arizona player to steal second, third, and home in a game.
The six stolen bases for Arizona off of catcher Jhonatan Solano were the most since they had six against Atlanta on Aug. 3, 2000.
Peralta's RBI single in the ninth capped the scoring for Arizona.
The Marlins' Dee Gordon had his batting average dip below .400 for the first time since April 27 following a 0-for-3 night. Gordon is now hitting .395.
Martin Prado singled to start the fifth for the Marlins' first hit.
LOOKING FOR SPECIAL RECIPE
Jennings made changes in the lineup, notably with Marcell Ozuna batting second and Prado hitting in the cleanup spot to help spark a struggling offense.
"Sometimes you've got to move pieces here or there until you get the right formula," Jennings said. "I'm sure the colonel tried a lot of recipes before he came up with his secret one for the chicken so we're going to keep working it until we find ours."
