Diamondbacks break out of hitting slump, break streak in win over Giants

By the Associated Press

Zac Gallen earned his first win of the season, Starling Marte had two hits and two RBIs and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped an eight-game losing streak by beating the San Francisco Giants 7-4 on Friday night.

Gallen (1-0) came into the game with a 2.25 ERA, but had taken a no-decision in his first six starts. The right-hander threw seven impressive innings, giving up five hits and issuing one walk.

The Giants scored their only run off Gallen when Evan Longoria homered in the sixth.

Arizona is still in last place in the NL West but improved to 14-19.
