San Francisco GiantsvsArizona Diamondbacks
SF 2/ARI 8
Things to say
The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 8-2 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Yeah, Arizona handled it, 8-2. The Giants just never got anything going. Felt over by the middle innings.
02
key player
The heart of the D-backs order did the damage. They put up eight, so somebody in that lineup was seeing it well and leaving the yard.
03
hot take
Giants at 35-50 is rough. That lineup's OBP has been a problem all year, and it showed again tonight.
04
deep cut
Chase Field with the roof, San Francisco's starter just couldn't get into his stuff, and once the pen came in it snowballed.
05
exit
Anyway, Arizona's back over .500 at 43-42. Curious if the Giants can steal one before this series is done.
The recap
Arizona took this one to the woodshed, cruising to an 8-2 win over San Francisco at Chase Field. The Diamondbacks' bats got loud early and never let up, stacking runs while their starter kept the Giants' heart of the order quiet through the middle innings.
San Francisco just couldn't string anything together, scratching out a couple of runs but never threatening to make it a game. A clean getaway-day beatdown that pushes Arizona back above .500 and drops the slumping Giants to 35-50.
