SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants shut out the Philadelphia Phillies for the second straight night Saturday, winning 2-0 behind seven shutout innings from rookie left-hander Andrew Suarez and two relievers.
Andrew McCutchen drove in a run in the sixth on a fielder’s choice and another in the eighth on a sacrifice fly as the Giants improved to 27-30. Both times, McCutchen drove in Joe Panik, in his second game after returning from thumb surgery.
Suarez (2-4) was gone after seven innings, removed for pinch-hitter Alen Hanson with two out in the bottom of the inning. Tony Watson had 1-2-3 eighth inning and Hunter Strickland finished it off in the ninth as the Giants have won two of the first three games of the series without allowing a run against the same team that put up 32 runs against them in a four-game sweep earlier this month.
