For the second straight series against San Francisco, the Diamondbacks found ways to win close games with timely hitting, strong pitching, and late-inning execution.

Giants Strike First Early
San Francisco jumped ahead in the bottom of the third inning after capitalizing on a scoring opportunity with runners on base. Luis Arraez delivered a clutch two-run single that brought home Willy Adames and Drew Gilbert, giving the Giants an early 2-0 lead.

The Giants appeared to have momentum behind their home crowd, but Arizona’s pitching staff settled in quickly and prevented any further damage the rest of the afternoon.

Mike Soroka Delivers Another Strong Start
Diamondbacks starter Mike Soroka turned in a quality outing and gave Arizona exactly what they needed after the rough third inning. Soroka kept the Giants off balance by locating his pitches effectively and limiting hard contact throughout the middle innings.

​Soroka’s final line:

His performance helped keep the Diamondbacks within striking distance while the offense searched for answers against San Francisco pitching.

Diamondbacks Rally in the Sixth Inning

The Diamondbacks showed patience and composure during the inning, forcing the Giants into stressful situations while shifting the momentum completely in Arizona’s favor.

Geraldo Perdomo Delivers the Game-Winning Moment

Perdomo lifted a sacrifice fly deep enough to score the go-ahead run and give Arizona a 3-2 lead. While it did not go into the box score as a hit, it became the biggest offensive play of the game.

Arizona’s ability to execute situational baseball once again proved to be the difference.

Giants’ Late Baserunning Mistakes Seal Their Fate
