PHOENIX -- Brandon Drury continued his torrid hitting at home with a three-hit game that included a three-run homer, and the Arizona Diamondbacks cruised to an 11-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

Drury has reached base in 17 of 18 home games this season and leads the National League with a .454 batting average at home. His home run highlighted a seven-run third inning. He also doubled and singled to give him a 10-game hitting streak at Chase Field.

Some of the shine from Arizona's third straight win was lost when catcher Chris Iannetta was hit in the face by a pitch from Pirates reliever Johnny Barbato to start the bottom of the seventh. Iannetta fell to the ground immediately and eventually walked off the field with towel over his nose.

Iannetta hit a solo home run to start the third. After being hit, he was replaced behind the plate by Chris Herrmann.

David Peralta and Jake Lamb each added three hits, part of the Diamondbacks' 16-hit attack. Patrick Corbin pitched six innings to improve to 3-4, allowing four runs and six hits.

The slumping Pirates (14-22) lost their season-high sixth straight game. They are 3-10 in their last 13 games.

Down 1-0, the Diamondbacks tied the score at 1 on Iannetta's mammoth shot off the batter's eye in straightaway center field to lead off the third. It was Iannetta's third home run of the season.

The Diamondbacks were far from finished, as six hitters in a row reached base. Arizona was in total control by the time Drury belted a towering shot into the left-field seats for a 7-1 lead.

Glasnow (1-3) lasted just 2 2/3 innings, giving up seven runs, seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

Pittsburgh cut the lead to 7-3 thanks to Josh Bell's two-out, two-run homer in the top of the fourth. Bell has six home runs this season to lead the Pirates.

But the Diamondbacks got those runs back and then some, with Lamb's two-run single off reliever Josh Lindblom plus RBI singles from Chris Owings and Tomas for an 11-3 lead.

NOTES: The Pirates added IF David Freese and IF/OF Adam Frazier to the active roster from the disabled list, sending IFs Chris Bostick and Max Moroff to Triple-A Indianapolis. Freese started at third base and Frazier, who'd been on a three-game rehab stint at Indianapolis, pinch hit in the seventh. ... C Francisco Cervelli did not play due to knee pain that returned during an at-bat in Thursday's game. ... The Diamondbacks announced that RHP Zack Godley will start Monday against the New York Mets. Godley was being considered for the fifth spot in the rotation and earned at least another look with his most recent start, a four-hitter through seven innings in which he beat Detroit 7-1. ... RHP Jake Barrett was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list (right shoulder inflammation) and optioned to Triple-A Reno before Friday's game. ... The seven runs in the third inning were tied for the second most scored by Arizona against Pittsburgh.
