Pinch-hitter Jake McCarthy hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth, Stone Garrett had an earlier tying double in his much anticipated MLB debut and the D-backs rallied past the Giants 3-2 on Wednesday night after two tough losses to start the series.
J.D. Davis hit a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth for San Francisco and LaMonte Wade Jr. connected in the third, but Dominic Leone (3-4, 4.50ERA) couldn’t hold it to give Carlos Rodón a fourth straight winning start.
Noé Ramirez (4-3, 4.34 ERA) recorded the final two outs in the seventh for the win, and Mark Melancon pitched the ninth to close it out against his former club for his 17th save.
Carlos Rodón struck out 11, giving him seven double-digit strikeout games this season — the first Giants pitcher to do so since two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum did so seven times in 2010 as San Francisco went on to win its first of three even-year World Series that decade.
Diamondbacks right-hander Zach Davies, facing San Francisco for the first time with Arizona, struck out six over five innings of two run ball, but got a no-decision and left on the hook for a loss. Thankfully, the D backs rallied for the win.
