Giants slip past D-backs in 11 innings
PHOENIX -- Ramiro Pena's pinch-hit double drove in the go-ahead run in the 11th inning, and the San Francisco Giants continued their roll through the National League West with a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Sunday.
The Giants (52-32) are 18-4 against division opponents since being swept in a four-game homer series by Arizona on May 18-21. They lead the NL West by five games.
Jarrett Parker singled to open the 11th inning off right-hander Enrique Burgos (0-1) before Pena doubled into the right field corner to drive in the decisive run.
Brandon Belt had two hits and two RBIs, Grant Green had two hits and Mac Williamson had a two-run single as the Giants took a 4-1 lead after four innings, scoring all the runs with two outs.
Paul Goldschmidt hit his 15th homer leading off the sixth inning to make it 4-2.
Jake Lamb's two-run homer off Cody Gearrin with one out in the eighth inning tied it at 4. Goldschmidt reached when first baseman Buster Posey could not handle his spinning grounder for an error, bringing up Lamb, whose homer was his 19th.
Lamb has 19 doubles and 19 homers and is attempting to become the fourth player in franchise history to have 20 of each at the All-Star break. Goldschmidt (twice), Matt Williams and Jay Bell have done it.
Josh Osich (1-1) pitched a 1-2-3 10th for the victory.
Santiago Casilla stranded Yasmany Tomas at third base with one out in the 11th inning for his 19th save. Tomas singled, took second on a sacrifice bunt and third on a wild pitch. After pinch hitter Welington Castillo walked, Casilla struck out pinch hitter Peter O'Brien.
Arizona (37-47) has lost seven of eight and is 14-30 at home.
San Francisco starter Albert Suarez gave up six hits and two runs in six innings in his sixth major league start. He struck five and did not walk a batter.
Arizona starter Robbie Ray gave up eight hits and four runs in six innings. He struck out eight and walked two.
The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Phil Gosselin hit a one-out double to left-center field, and Brandon Drury followed with a line-drive double off the left field fence to break the scoreless tie.
Tuffy Gosewisch singled to left field to move Drury to third, but after a sacrifice bunt, Suarez got Jean Segura to fly out. Gosewisch's single was Arizona's last hit until Segura doubled with two outs in the fifth inning.
The Giants scored two runs with two outs in the third and fourth innings to give Suarez some cushion.
Williamson hit a two-out, two-run single in the third inning after one-out singles by Green and Belt. Ray hit Brandon Crawford with two outs, loading the bases for Williamson.
Belt's two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning after Suarez singled with one out and Ruben Tejada doubled. Belt took the ball the opposite way, down the left field line, for a 4-1 lead.
NOTES: Arizona RHP Zack Greinke (left oblique strain) was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, after an MRI done Saturday revealed a strain. Greinke, 10-3 with a 3.62 ERA, had made 106 consecutive starts since suffering a fractured collarbone when he was tackled on the mound by a charging Carlos Quentin in April 2013. "Hopefully he'll be ready for us after the (All-Star) break," manager Chip Hale said. ... Giants RHP Matt Cain (hamstring) threw 46 pitches in a rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona League on Saturday and came out of it feeling fine, manager Bruce Bochy said. Cain is expected to get one or two more rehab starts before returning to the Giants shortly after the All-Star break. ... Arizona LF Chris Herrmann (hamstring) and San Francisco CF Gregor Blanco (knee) were late scratches Sunday. ... Arizona LF Rickie Weeks was reinstated from the bereavement list Sunday, filling Greinke's vacant roster spot.
