PHOENIX -- Geraldo Perdomo got the Arizona Diamondbacks started with an unexpected homer, then Ketel Marte made most of the 48,000-plus fans at Chase Field giddy with another blast.

Christian Walker followed with a line-drive shot into the left-field seats, and Gabriel Moreno polished off the onslaught with a 420-foot moon shot into left-center.

One inning. Four hitters. Four solo homers.

"That's the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life," Walker said.

The hard-hitting Diamondbacks rode a record-setting burst of homers in the third inning to a 4-2 win in Game 3 of their National League Division Series on Wednesday night, sweeping the 100-win Los Angeles Dodgers out of the playoffs.
