PHILADELPHIA — Jarrod Dyson, Nick Ahmed and David Peralta homered Thursday, and the Arizona Diamondbacks earned an 8-2 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Diamondbacks improved to 17-7, matching the best 24-game start in franchise history. Arizona also went 17-7 in 2008.

“It’s a good feeling to know that we’re having success,” Arizona Manager Torey Lovullo said. “It’s a byproduct of us doing what we are supposed to do.”

Dyson hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Chris Owings added an RBI double off Ben Lively (0-2) to give the Diamondbacks a 3-0 lead.

CARDINALS 4, METS 3: Dexter Fowler’s 13th-inning single capped a comeback from a pair of deficits and gave St. Louis a victory at home.

St. Louis trailed 2-0 in the seventh and 3-2 in the 10th. Tommy Pham had four hits and scored twice, a day after leaving a game after cutting his head with his bat while warning up in an indoor batting game. He played with a large bandage on his head.

BRAVES 7, REDS 4: Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies, the two youngest players in the major leagues, both homered and combined for five RBI to lead Atlanta at Cincinnati and give the Braves a split of the four-game series.

Acuna became the youngest player in the major leagues Wednesday at 20 years, 128 days, and went 1 for 5 in his debut. He led off the second inning with a home run five rows deep into the left-field upper deck against Homer Bailey, singled in the sixth and hit a tie-breaking double off Wandy Peralta (1-1) in the eighth following Freddie Freeman’s third double of the game.
