HOUSTON -- Catcher Wellington Castillo capped a three-hit performance with a leadoff home run in the top of the 10th inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 6-4 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night at Minute Maid Park.

Castillo finished a triple shy of the cycle for the Diamondbacks (50-51), who extended their winning streak to a season-high six games while snapping the Astros' seven-game home winning streak. Castillo (3-for-5 with three runs) had a single and a double before lining the first pitch from Astros right-hander Pat Neshek (3-2) just inside the left-field pole.

Third baseman Jake Lamb added his third home run of the season one at-bat after Castillo hit his 11th.

The Diamondbacks trailed 4-1 before scoring twice in the sixth and pulling even in the seventh when left fielder David Peralta greeted Astros left-hander Tony Sipp with an RBI single to right that scored pinch-runner Cliff Pennington with two outs.

Right-handers Addison Reed and Daniel Hudson (3-3) combined for three hitless innings of relief in advance of Arizona closer Brad Ziegler, who set the Astros (58-46) down in order in the 10th for his 18th save.

The Astros flashed their power, and ability to quickly seize momentum, in the bottom of the fifth inning, striking suddenly against Arizona starter Rubby De La Rosa, who cruised through his first four innings on the mound.

Houston managed two-out singles in the first and second innings yet at no point did De La Rosa appear in danger. But in the fifth inning, with De La Rosa riding a string of seven consecutive batters retired, the Astros rallied from the bottom of their order, with first baseman Marwin Gonzalez dropping a perfect bunt single behind third baseman Luis Valbuena and in front of catcher Jason Castro, who was batting ninth.

Castro followed with his second three-run homer in as many nights, erasing a 1-0 deficit with an opposite-field shot to left on a 1-0 pitch.

Three batters later shortstop Carlos Correa also homered to left field in a 1-0 count, pushing the Astros lead to 4-1 with his 10th home run.

Arizona responded quickly, with Castillo producing a double after Peralta opened the sixth inning with a single off Astros right-hander Scott Feldman. The Diamondbacks capitalized on a fielding miscue from Astros center fielder Carlos Gomez, who overran the Castillo drive into right field instead of ceding ground to right fielder Colby Rasmus. Two run-scoring groundouts later and the Diamondbacks were within 4-3, having chased Feldman from the game.

NOTES: Diamondbacks general manager Dave Stewart opted to stand pat at the trade deadline. The Diamondbacks, who were six games behind the San Francisco Giants for the second National League wild card, did entertain trading for Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. ... CF Carlos Gomez, who was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, hit second in the order in his Houston debut. To make room for Gomez, the Astros optioned 1B Jon Singleton to Triple-A Fresno. Singleton hit .205/.321/.318 with one home run and six RBIs over 16 games with the Astros. ... Houston will active RHP Mike Fiers, acquired along with Gomez, before Saturday's game.
