Brandon Belt had an up-and-down night for the Giants, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a triple but he also cost his team big with an error that led to two runs. That ignited the Diamondbacks, who broke out for eight runs in their 8-6 victory. Hunter Pence also went 2-for-5 with a RBI single in the loss.
Chris Owings went 2-for-3 while scoring a run, walking twice and stealing two bases for the victorious Diamondbacks. Owings started the Diamondbacks’ rally with an RBI single in the third inning. Taijuan Walker also picked up his first victory of the season, allowing four runs on seven hits in six innings.
Bet Tonight’s Giants vs. Diamondbacks Game
OUR PICK: The over is now 8-1 in the last nine meetings between these two teams in Arizona and 5-1 in the last six meetings overall. Both teams have come out of the gates hot offensively, but neither has pitched well thus far. The Giants have also been uncharacteristically sloppy defensively and with the way the ball flies in Arizona, the over is another solid bet tonight.
