A furious Giants comeback against the D-backs bullpen falls just short in 8-7 Arizona win.
The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Giants 8-7 Tuesday night at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The game was looking like an easy victory with the score 7-2 heading into the eighth inning. But the Giants put up four runs on Ryan Thompson and one more against Justin Martinez in the ninth to make it close.
Christian Walker, playing in his first game since July 29th, delivered an RBI base hit in the top half of the ninth to provide a critical insurance run. He drove in Corbin Carroll, who had singled and stolen second and third base. He started off slowly, walking the leadoff batter in the first inning, then giving up a double to Tyler Fitzgerald and a sharp line drive sacrifice fly to Heliot Ramos. Nelson retired the next 11 in a row however, and didn't allow his second run until a Matt Chapman solo homer in the 6th inning.
Nelson left with a 7-2 lead, giving way to A.J. Puk who got a strikeout to end the seventh inning. He got the win, improving his record to 10-6 and lowering his ERA to 4.15.
