Pavel Smith's first home run this season and Geraldo Perdomo's RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning proved to be enough as the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 at Chase Field in Downtown Phoenix.

Angels starter Walbert Ureña worked seven innings, giving up seven hits, four runs (three earned), walked two, struck out three, and surrendered Smith's dinger. Stretching Ureña into the seventh inning might not have been a good idea. He ended up taking the loss, falling to 4-5 overall.

The Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar was hit by a pitch to open the inning, but was summarily picked off. Smith followed with his home run, and Perdomo's 10th double this season brought home Ketel Marte with what proved to be the game-winning run.

In the top of the ninth inning with two outs, the Angels' Donovan Walton hit his second home run this season off Diamondbacks reliever Paul Sewald to close things tighter at 4-3. Sewald came back to strike out Oswald Peraza for his 18th save this season.

Angels center fielder and slugger Mike Trout was hit by a pitch, but he also slammed his 16th home run -- a solo shot -- over the right-field wall. That happened in the top of the fifth inning and tied things up at 2-2.

Then, the Diamondbacks started getting their hitting legs underneath them and got it together to put up the W in the Valley of the Sun.

The Angels were 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position and left six runners on base total. Arizona was 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left seven runners in total on base on Monday night.

Arizona is now 37-35 and in third place in the National League West Division. As for the Angels, they are 29-44 and in last place in the American League West Division.

These two teams go at it again on Tuesday night with first pitch scheduled at 6:40 p.m. MST. On Wednesday, anyone who works in Downtown Phoenix and wants a reason to skip out of the office in the afternoon will have one. The Angels and Diamondbacks will close out their three-game series with a 12:40 p.m. MST first pitch.

After Los Angeles leaves town, the Diamondbacks will take Thursday off before opening a three-game weekend series at Chase Field against the Minnesota Twins.
