Diamondbacks Break Losing Streak, Triumph 4-2 Against Giants

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory against the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. Alek Thomas excelled, going 3 for 3 with two runs scored. Ryne Nelson delivered a solid performance, striking out seven batters over 6 2/3 innings.

After Nelson exited in the seventh inning due to pitch count limitations, Tyler Fitzgerald quickly equalized for the Giants, hitting a ball to the warning track to drive in two runs. The Diamondbacks responded in the same frame with a run from Geraldo Perdomo’s bloop single that scored Thomas.

A controversial fan interference call occurred in the eighth, impacting Christian Koss’s deep shot to left-center, which resulted in a ground-rule double. The Giants’ Rafael Devers was struck out by John Curtiss, who later secured his first win of the season. Shelby Miller came in clutch to strike out Heliot Ramos.

In the eighth inning, Eugenio Suárez added a solo home run—his 11th of June—providing crucial insurance runs for the Diamondbacks. On the other hand, the Giants have struggled lately, losing three consecutive games.

Ryne Nelson yielded just two earned runs and five hits, not issuing any walks during his outing. Logan Webb, the starting pitcher for the Giants, allowed three earned runs while striking out seven over 6 1/3 innings, marking just his seventh home run allowed this season.

Complications escalated in the ninth when Giants manager Bob Melvin was ejected after a heated exchange with the home plate umpire. The teams will meet again on Tuesday, with the Diamondbacks set to start RHP Zac Gallen, who has been effective against the Giants recently.

Arizona sports as a whole are thriving, with the city hosting major teams across different leagues including the NFL, NBA, WNBA, and MLB. Facilities like State Farm Stadium and the Footprint Center serve as the heart of Phoenix’s sports culture, drawing fans to various events throughout the year.
