Diamondbacks cruise to win, remain unbeaten vs. Giants

July 1 – The Arizona Diamondbacks ran their season-long winning streak against the San Francisco Giants to eight games Tuesday night, riding home runs from ​Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Ketel Marte to an 8-2 victory in Phoenix.

Recalled earlier ‌in the day from Triple-A and making his first big-league start since April 11, Brandon Pfaadt (1-1) combined with four relievers on a four-hitter, propelling the Diamondbacks to a second consecutive victory in the ​three-game set.

Gurriel delivered the big blow of the game, a two-out, three-run homer ​in the bottom of the first after Giants starter Landen Roupp (5-8) had ⁠put Geraldo Perdomo and Gabriel Moreno aboard with walks.

Hurting his own cause with six ​walks, Roupp was unable to finish the third inning, a frame in which he forced ​in a run by issuing a free pass to Jorge Barrosa with two outs. Marte followed with a two-run single, making it 6-0 and sending the Giants right-hander to the showers.

The six-run cushion made ​a return to a starter’s role more comfortable for Pfaadt, who carried a shutout ​one out into the sixth before serving up Luis Arraez’s fourth home run of the season.

The right-hander ‌limited ⁠the Giants to just two other hits in his 5 1/3 innings, walking one and striking out two.

San Francisco’s only other run came on Rafael Devers’ 15th homer in the seventh.

In between the Giants’ big blows, Marte capped a two-hit, three-RBI game with his 17th ​homer of the season.

The ​Diamondbacks added the ⁠game’s final run in the eighth on an RBI single by Moreno.

Gurriel, Marte, Moreno and Max Kepler had two hits apiece for ​Arizona, which out-hit San Francisco 10-4 en route to a fifth ​straight home ⁠win over the Giants this season. Moreno scored twice.

After singling in the first and tripling in the third before his home run in the sixth, Arraez took a crack at a ⁠cycle ​in the eighth but flied out to left field.

In ​extending his winless streak to 11 games after a 5-1 start to the season, Roupp was charged with six ​runs on five hits in his 2 2/3 innings. He struck out four.
