Merrill Kelly anchored Arizona with a sharp seven-inning scoreless start, keeping San Francisco quiet before the Diamondbacks’ offense finally broke through.
Gabriel Moreno, Nolan Arenado and Tim Tawa scored on Nootbaar’s grand slam to right field, putting Arizona ahead. Gerardo Perdomo later brought Corbin Carroll home with a single, while Jordan Lawlar’s single brought Tim Tawa across in the ninth and an Ildemaro Vargas double play allowed Jorge Barrosa to score.
The Giants’ offense found only a brief answer when Jung Hoo Lee’s single brought Rafael Devers home in the eighth. Kelly’s performance left San Francisco with little room to rally, and the Giants’ pitching was charged with the loss.
Arizona extended its winning streak, while San Francisco’s late power surge never arrived. The Diamondbacks left Oracle Park with the game’s defining swing already behind them.
