PHOENIX (AP) -- Aaron Hill drove in three runs and made a game-ending diving stop, Miguel Montero hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Trailing 3-2 in the eighth, Detroit went ahead on Torii Hunter's two-run single up the middle off Brad Ziegler.
Eury De la Rosa (2-0) got the final two outs in the inning and Arizona rallied when Phil Coke (1-2) walked two in the bottom half after being hit by a line drive.
 
Arizona rallies for 5-4 win over Detroit
 
The Diamondbacks loaded the bases on a two-out walk and Montero came through with his single up the middle off Ian Krol to put Arizona up 5-4.
David Peralta tied a team record with two triples and Hill made his diving stop in the outfield grass to help Addison Reed work around a walk in the ninth for his 24th save.
Arizona starter Chase Anderson won his first five starts and lost the next four before allowing a run on seven hits in six innings to beat Miami his last outing on July 7.
The rookie right-hander wasn't nearly as sharp against the Tigers, though he was still effective.
He allowed run in the first inning on Miguel Cabrera's run-scoring single and another on a wild pitch in the third. Anderson worked around baserunners over the next three innings, but didn't give up another run against the AL's best-hitting team.
He allowed two runs and five hits and struck out five in six innings.
Detroit's Rick Porcello bounced back from a rough outing by holding the Royals to a run in seven innings his previous outing.
His main trouble against the Diamondbacks was their top two hitters, Peralta and Hill.
Hill hit a solo homer in the first inning, his eighth of the season. Peralta hit triples in the third and fifth inning, setting up Hill for a sacrifice fly and an RBI groundout that put Arizona up 3-2 in the fifth.
Porcello was good against everyone else, allowing five hits and three runs with five strikeouts.
