Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said pregame he hoped his players would grind some at-bats and get Blake Snell out of the game early. He got his wish, but Arizona could not capitalize against relievers.
Reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell was removed after a 42-pitch first inning, and San Francisco rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 Thursday behind a walk-off double in the ninth from Patrick Bailey, who drove in all three Giants runs.Arizona sent eight batters to the plate in the first inning, taking advantage of defensive sloppiness.
Bailey followed with a ground-rule double to left-center, lifting the Giants to just their second win in eight games.Bailey entered hitting .080 from July 31 on. He said that he’s made progress from last year to this year, his first full season in the big leagues, though his statistics might not reflect improvement."The last month and a half hasn’t gone the way I wished," Bailey said. "But I’ve felt better the last couple days and last couple games.
