PHOENIX -- Texas first baseman Prince Fielder hit a two-run home run to cap a four-run eighth inning, and he drove in three runs in the Rangers' 7-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Chase Field.

With the score 1-1, Texas left fielder Jason Smolinski reached on an error by third baseman Cliff Pennington with one out in the eighth. Center fielder Leonys Martin walked off Daniel Hudson (0-1) before shortstop Elvis Andrus singled to drive in Smolinski with the go-ahead run.

Martin and Andrus pulled off a double steal, and Martin scored when catcher Tuffy Gosewisch's throw to third went into left field. Fielder followed with his first homer of the season for the Rangers, who snapped a two-game losing streak.

Martin added a two-run single in the ninth inning. He had two hits and scored twice.

Fielder, who also doubled home a run in the first inning, is hitting .386 with nine RBIs.

Shawn Tolleson (1-0) struck out D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt with two on to end the seventh inning. Tolleson retired all four batters he faced, striking out three.

Third baseman Yasmany Tomas had two singles in his first major league start for the D-backs. Tomas, who signed a six-year, $68.5 million free agent deal in the offseason, also committed a fielding error in three chances before being removed for a pinch runner in the sixth inning.

Rangers right-hander Nick Martinez gave five hits and one run in six innings, the first earned run against him in 20 innings this season. He struck out three and walked one.

D-backs right-hander Chase Anderson gave up one run and three hits in seven innings, striking out five and walking one.

Martin doubled down the right field line to lead off the game and scored on Fielder's one-out, ground-rule double to left-center for a 1-0 lead.

Tomas singled with one out in the second inning, went to third on Gosewisch's single to right field and scored on shortstop Nick Ahmed's slow roller to third base to tie the game at 1-1.

NOTES: Diamondbacks 3B Jake Lamb (left foot stress reaction) was placed on the disabled list retroactive to April 19. He is expected to wear a walking boot for two weeks and could miss three weeks. ... Texas LHP Ross Detwiler is in no danger of losing his spot in the rotation despite giving up 25 hits and 15 earned runs in his first three starts, covering 12 1/3 innings, said manager Jeff Banister. "Reassured him there was no less commitment to him," Banister said. "How can we help him best to improve?" ... The Diamondbacks purchased the contract of 1B/OF Danny Dorn to take Lamb's roster spot, and they moved C Gerald Laird (back surgery) to the 60-day disabled list to make room on the 40-man roster. Dorn, 30, spent 10 years in the minor leagues. He was hitting .474 with two homers and eight RBIs in 10 games at Triple-A Reno. ... Arizona rookie RHP Archie Bradley (1-0, 1.42 ERA) will face Texas RHP Yovani Gallardo in his third major league start Wednesday. Bradley beat Los Angeles LHP Clayton Kershaw and left with a lead against San Francisco LHP Madison Bumgarner in his first two starts.
