Giants 6, Diamondbacks 5: Slayed by Slater

Record: 23-62, Pace 44-118, One run record: 2-20

The Diamondbacks lost another heartbreaker tonight. With Jake Faria getting the start they fell behind early 4-0, thanks to a four run Giants 3rd. But the D-backs battled back with runs in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th innings to take a 5-4 lead. Another short outing by a starter, (Faria went just 4 innings), meant they needed 5 innings from the bullpen. 4 of those innings were scoreless, but the Giants got a monster 482 foot two run homer from Austin Slater off Ryan Buchter in the 8th for the go ahead game winning home run.
