Giants strike first, hang on to beat D-backs
PHOENIX -- After losing six straight games, the Giants escaped Chase Field with a needed 6-4 win Saturday night thanks to an early offensive outburst.
The Giants put up three runs off D-backs starter Brandon McCarthy (1-10) in the first inning and never looked back.
"We found a way to get it done," manager Bruce Bochy said. "So good win for us to break this streak."
Bochy said after Friday's loss that one of the major issues for the Giants during their recent skid had been capitalizing on opportunities and getting big hits.
