Overview
- Trevor McDonald earned the win in a 6-4 victory after pitching six scoreless innings with one hit, five strikeouts and no walks in Wednesday’s start.
- Heliot Ramos and Victor Bericoto supplied the key offense, with Ramos hitting a solo home run and later an RBI triple and Bericoto launching a two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie.
- Arizona rallied in the eighth when reliever Ryan Walker allowed four hits and four earned runs without recording an out, cutting the lead to 6-4 and raising concerns about late-inning depth.
- Caleb Kilian closed a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save, and the Giants travel to Colorado for a three-game series with momentum but lingering relief-room instability.
- The win snapped an eight-game losing streak to Arizona and prevented a 0-9 start against a single opponent, gave a lift to a rotation that has struggled recently, and created more playing opportunities for outfielders filling in because of injuries.
