Peavy wins 1st, Giants beat D-Backs for 5th straight win

Peavy didn’t fare well in his last outing versus Arizona, falling to 16-13 in his career versus the club after yielding four runs on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings of a 9-0 setback April 17.

Believe it or not, after the 72 out of the game, the Diamondbacks opened the roof and shot off their Friday night (now Saturday early morning) fireworks.

Crawford also made two outstanding defensive plays to get outs at third base. The 34-year-old allowed just two runs (one earned) on six hits in seven innings but saw his team suffer a 4-1 loss to the New York Mets on July 8. Starting pitcher Chase Anderson allowed 10 hits and seven runs while striking out three over 3.2 innings to take the loss and fall to 4-4 for the season.

Cain probably would have pitched the sixth, but Justin Maxwell drew a two-out walk in the top of the inning and Joaquin Arias flied out while pinch hitting in the pitcher s spot.

Bochy said he received positive reports from Affeldt s rehab inning on Thursday for the River Cats, in which the left-hander struck out one, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch.

“We are not playing crisp baseball”, manager Chip Hale said.

More than anything, he’s got to be patient, Bochy said.

“It felt like the start of the year at the start of the game”, said Brandon Crawford, whose legs needed the break as much as anyone’s.

Vogelsong put down a good bunt to the left side that got past Delgado and ended up an infield single because third baseman Jake Lamb had retreated back to cover the bag for a potential forceout. X-rays were negative and it was diagnosed as a sprain. “I don’t know if it is mentally or physically but obviously I am trying to fix it because I don’t want to prolong it”.

Anderson (4-3, 3.91) took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his only start against San Francisco, a 1-0 victory June 12, but his recent performances have hardly been up to that level. He allowed four runs on eight hits in his first four innings, and five were of the extra-base variety.

The Giants couldn t score after Pence hit a leadoff double in the fourth but they created another chance in the fifth, loading the bases on consecutive two-out singles by Panik, Matt Duffy and Buster Posey.

David Peralta homered and hit his third triple in the last two nights for Arizona. Brandon Crawford had a two-run single in San Francisco’s four-run third inning. Cliff Pennington, whose throwing error allowed the winning run to score Friday night, hit his first home run of the season and second career pinch-hit homer.

Arizona took a 5-2 lead into the seventh, when the Giants rallied against reliever Enrique Burgos.

Giants: Bochy said a Connecticut scan showed Nori Aoki’s fractured right fibula is 80 percent healed and he expects the outfielder to be able to begin baseball activity in about two weeks.

Diamondbacks: LHP Patrick Corbin (1-1, 5.40) makes his third start since coming back from Tommy John surgery.
