Giants look to start new win streak at slumping Arizona

The San Francisco Giants' seven-game winning streak ended with a thud Thursday, as the rival Los Angeles Dodgers swept the host Giants in a doubleheader that took place because both teams agreed not to play Wednesday to call more attention to civil rights and the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Giants hit the road to open a three-game series with the slumping Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Arizona has lost eight straight games and is scheduled to play its first game since Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks were scheduled to play a Thursday afternoon game against the Colorado Rockies, but both teams decided not to play.
