Diamondbacks 3, Giants 0
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Arizona Diamondbacks continued their recent dominance of the San Francisco Giants in their home ballpark, getting a combined six-hit shutout from four pitchers en route to a 3-0 victory Tuesday night.
Chris Owings ended Giants starter Matt Cain's no-hit bid with a first-pitch double in the fifth inning, triggering a three-run uprising that propelled the Diamondbacks to their eighth win in their last nine games at AT&T Park.
The win was the third in a row for Arizona (7-8) and fifth in eight outings on its current 10-game trip.
Starter Robbie Ray (1-0) and relievers Andrew Chafin, Evan Marshall and Tyler Clippard teamed to stifle a Giants team that had totaled 33 runs in its first five home games, including seven in a 9-7, 11-inning loss to Arizona in the series opener Monday.
Clippard overcame an inning-opening walk to pitch a scoreless ninth for his first save, completing the Diamondbacks' first shutout of the season.
Ray got the ball rolling with six shutout innings, striking out eight. He allowed five hits and two walks, but stranded three Giants in scoring position.
It was Ray's third consecutive quality start to open the season, and the sixth straight time he's allowed two or fewer runs in a game, dating back to last season.
Cain (0-2) was even better for four innings, pitching around four walks by not allowing a hit, before the Diamondbacks turned the tables big-time in the fifth.
Owings put the big inning in motion by lashing Cain's first pitch of the inning to the fence in left-center field for a double.
Ray sacrificed Owings to third, and Jean Segura produced the game's first run with a single.
Jake Lamb, who had two doubles and a home run in Monday's win, followed with an RBI triple to make it 2-0, then came home on Paul Goldschmidt's sacrifice fly.
Subsequent two-out singles by David Peralta and Yasmani Tomas ended Cain's night, but the Diamondbacks did no further damage against four Giants relievers.
Owings had two of the Diamondbacks' eight hits.
Matt Duffy, who entered the game hitless in his last 13 at-bats, had two singles for the Giants, who were shut out for the first time this season.
The loss was the Giants' third in a row and sixth in their last seven games. They fell under .500 for the first time this season at 7-8.
Cain remained winless in three starts, giving up just the three fifth-inning runs on five hits. He walked four and struck out two.
His outing was similar to his previous start in Colorado, when he retired 12 of 13 batters through four innings, then got lit up for five hits -- including two doubles and a home run -- among the first six batters he faced in the fifth.
The Rockies scored nine runs in the inning, six off Cain, en route to an 11-6 win.
The Giants failed to score with Cain on the mound for the third straight time.
NOTES: The Diamondbacks and Giants each had two representatives on the Pac-12's 30-member All-Century baseball team that was announced Tuesday. LHP Randy Johnson (USC, 1983-85) and manager Chip Hale (Arizona, 1984-87), who was picked as a third baseman, were members of the Diamondbacks' organization selected. Giants honored were RHP Tim Lincecum (Washington, 2004-06) and LF Barry Bonds (Arizona State, 1983-85). ... QB Jared Goff was scheduled to throw out the first pitch on "Cal Night" at AT&T Park, but the possible No. 1 pick in next week's NFL Draft was summoned to Los Angeles for an unscheduled trip earlier in the day. Cal coach Sonny Dykes made the ceremonial toss in relief of Goff. ... Both teams made pitching transactions before the game. The Diamondbacks optioned Monday's starting pitcher, RHP Archie Bradley, to Triple-A Reno and recalled RHP Silvino Bracho from Reno. The Giants promoted two pitchers -- LHP Steven Okert and RHP Mike Broadway -- from Triple-A Sacramento, replacing RHP George Kontos, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained flexor tendon in his right arm, and RHP Chris Heston, who was sent to Sacramento.
