Pinch hitter Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a go-ahead, three-run double to center, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 10-8 win over the host Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.

Gurriel went 2-for-2 with four RBIs.

The Diamondbacks trailed 6-3 before scoring four runs in the seventh, including three on Gurriel’s hit with two strikes and two outs.

Arizona swept the three-game series, and its potent offense helped struggling Diamondbacks starter Jordan Montgomery escape with a no-decision.

The left-hander allowed 10 hits, one walk and six runs in 5 2/3 innings. His ERA increased to 6.44.

Miami didn’t start one left-handed hitter against Montgomery, and the Marlins got five hits against him to the opposite field.

Miami got a two-run homer from Jake Burger, who has 25 home runs this season, including 10 to go with 15 RBIs in August. Andrew Nardi (3-2) took the loss. He surrendered two runs in one-third of an inning in the Diamondbacks’ big seventh inning.

Former Marlins reliever Dylan Floro (5-3) earned the win, and Justin Martinez got his fifth save.

Arizona got off to a fast start, loading the bases with one out in the first inning before cashing in on Pavin Smith’s sacrifice fly to the warning track in center field.

Miami’s Xavier Edwards led off the bottom of the first with an infield single, and Burger followed with a 397-foot homer to left-center, giving Miami a 2-1 lead.

Arizona went ahead 3-2 in the third as Geraldo Perdomo doubled, and Jake McCarthy followed with a homer to right.

Miami scored four runs in the fourth to take a 6-3 lead. The rally started with Connor Norby’s single and Derek Hill’s sacrifice bunt. Otto Lopez doubled off the base of the wall in right-center, scoring Norby to tie the score 3-3.

Cristian Pache then hit his first homer since joining the Marlins, giving Miami a 5-3 lead. The rally continued as David Hensley put down a bunt single, stole second and scored on Edwards’ triple, making it 6-3.

Arizona surged ahead in the seventh as Bell hit an RBI single before Gurriel’s three-run double.

Perdomo added a solo homer in the eighth to give Arizona an 8-6 lead.

Miami cut its deficit to 8-7 as Hensley reached on another infield hit before scoring from first on pinch hitter Vidal Brujan’s double to left.

But Arizona stretched its lead back to 10-7 in the ninth on Jose Herrera’s RBI triple and Gurriel’s run-scoring single.

The Marlins scored in the bottom of the ninth, but Martinez struck out Hensley on a splitter, ending the game.
