Drew Gilbert homers and Landen Roupp pitches 5 solid innings as Giants beat
Diamondbacks 6-1
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Drew Gilbert homered and drove in the go-ahead run,
Landen Roupp pitched five solid innings and the San Francisco Giants beat
Arizona 6-1 on Thursday night to snap a four-game home losing streak against
the Diamondbacks.
Arizona is 1 1/2 games behind San Diego for the final National League wild card.
Roupp (8-13) allowed one run and four hits. Trent Harris, Carson Seymour and
Ryan Walker combined for four scoreless innings of relief.
Christian Koss was hit by a pitch leading off the fifth and advanced to third
on a sacrifice bunt by Nate Furman before Taylor Clarke replaced Arizona
starter Jose Cabrera. Three pitches later, Gilbert's sacrifice fly gave San
Francisco a 2-1 lead.
After Jose Fernandez singled to load the bases with one out in the fourth,
Roupp got Ildemaro Vargas to fly out and then struck out Ryan Waldschmidt to
end the threat.
Gilbert hit a 3-2 pitch 421 feet into the bleacher in right-center field in the
first.
Gabriel Moreno hit a leadoff homer in the fourth to make it 1-all.
Bryce Eldridge doubled in a run, Jonah Cox and Turner Hill followed with
back-to-back RBI singles and Shay Whitcomb's sacrifice bunt scored Cox to make
it 6-1 in the eighth.
Cabrera (0-3) gave up two runs and three hits with four strikeouts in 4 1/3
innings.
The Giants, who beat Arizona 6-4 in Phoenix on July 1, have won back-to-back
games against the Diamondbacks following an eight-game losing streak in the
series.
Up next
The Diamondbacks hadn't announced their starter for Friday opposite Blade
Tidwell (0-0, 3.58 ERA) as the series continues.
