Arizona quickly struck in Game 6 of the NLCS, hitting home runs in consecutive at-bats to take a 2-0 lead over Philadelphia.
The Phillies hold a 3-2 series lead and are a win away from back-to-back NL pennants.
Diamondbacks designated hitter Tommy Pham didn't play in Saturday's Game 5 loss but got the first run across the plate with a solo shot in the top of the second.
He was followed by leftfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who hit his second home run of the postseason.
Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola was knocked for another run in the inning when third baseman Evan Longoria recorded a run batted in with a double, extending the Diamondbacks lead to 3-0.
