Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Adrian Gonzalez stroked a two-run double into the right field corner in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The game-winning hit scored Mark Ellis from second base and Shane Victorino from first.

The Dodgers split the four-game series, winning the last two after dropping eight in a row to their NL West rivals.

Matt Kemp homered for the first time in nearly a month for Los Angeles.

Miguel Montero hit a two-run homer and John McDonald had a solo shot for the Diamondbacks, who fell to 2-8 in their last 10.

Arizona closer J.J. Putz (1-5) allowed Gonzalez's walk-off hit after giving up a single to Ellis and a walk to Victorino. It was his fourth blown save of the season.

Ronald Belisario (4-1) worked around a double in the top of the ninth and got the win in an inning of work.
