Walsh led after the first round, but lost the lead to Olympic champion Ryan Crouser in round five.
World champion Walsh then threw 22.29 metres with the last throw to take the win.
"I'm pretty happy - the Eugene IAAF Diamond League didn't go to plan so that gave me a kick up the backside. Ryan did some great throws tonight and I knew I had it in me to match him. We hava a great head to head battle going on so it's great to keep pushing each otherb and to produce some massive throws."
"It was pretty cool out there tonight - I had a good, consistent series but it was frustrating until that final throw."
"2018 is all about having fun and the year so far has gone to plan for me with a world indoor win and winning the Commonwealth title, so I'm pretty stoked with that and just need to keep the ball rolling now."
Walsh now moves up to second in the Diamond League standings behind Crouser after two events
Olympic champion Ryan Crouser was second.
