Surprising Arizona beats San Francisco 2-1 in Phoenix on Sunday to improve to 23-18.
David Brandt Associated Press PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks faced a really good pitcher on Sunday, trailed for a decent chunk of the game and spent the majority of the afternoon struggling at the plate.Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove home Christian Walker with a looping double down the left-field line in the ninth inning, leading the Diamondbacks to a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
Walker started the game-winning rally with a walk against Giants reliever Tyler Rogers . Gurriel followed and was out in front of Rogers' two-strike slider but managed to hook it over the third baseman's head and down the line, allowing Walker to score all the way from first.Arizona also caught a break in that the Giants' outfielders were shaded toward right, which meant left fielder Blake Sabol had to run a long way for the ball before firing toward the infield.
Giants right-hander Logan Webb didn't give up a hit until the fifth when Gabriel Moreno hit a perfectly placed infield single that shortstop Brandon Crawford couldn't quite gather. “The wins haven't been coming our way, but we've been in pretty much every single game this season,” Sabol said. “The games are there for the taking. It's just a couple more shutdown innings and a couple more timely hits. Still like 120 games left, so still a lot of baseball left to play.”
