Giants beat Diamondbacks in ninth, sweep series

PHOENIX - Meet the new Matt Cain. Same as the old Matt Cain. The old Matt Cain of long ago, that is.

Cain showed another sign of rebounding Sunday afternoon when he surrendered a run on seven hits in seven innings, and the Giants rallied in an eventful ninth inning to beat the Diamondbacks 2-1 and complete a four-game sweep.

That would be known as payback. Last month, the Diamondbacks swept a four-game set in San Francisco.

The Giants had one hit in eight innings, Trevor Brown’s home run off Rubby De La Rosa, but bunched three in the ninth.
