Brad Lidge pitched the ninth for his ninth save in 11 chances.
Sheets (1-3) gave up nine hits and seven runs in 2 1-3 innings in one of the worst outings of his career. His only shorter outing was one inning against Philadelphia in 2003, when Sheets was pulled as a precaution but made his next start.
Diamondbacks 10, Dodgers 8
At Phoenix, Chad Tracy's first career grand slam sparked a seven-run fifth inning and Shawn Green had four hits for Arizona, which tied a club record by overcoming a 6-0 deficit to beat Los Angeles.
San Francisco also achieved the feat on Sept. 15, 1998.
It was the second time in three games the Dodgers couldn't hold a big lead. They blew a 5-0 ninth-inning lead at San Diego on Sunday, losing 6-5 in 10 innings.
Arizona scored the seven runs in the fifth -- one shy of the team record for runs in an inning -- before Luis Vizcaino (1-2) gave up a solo home run to the Dodgers' J.D. Drew to tie the game 7-7 in the seventh.
In the bottom of the inning, the Diamondbacks regained the lead at 8-7 on a bases-loaded single by Craig Counsell off rookie reliever Takashi Saito (2-1).
