Diamondbacks Take 2-0 Lead With Four Homers in 8-2 Victory Over Giants

A four-homer attack propelled Arizona to a two-game cushion following Zac Gallen’s 10-strikeout outing.

Overview

Jake McCarthy’s three-run homer in the fourth inning capped a comeback drive after his June 24 recall from Triple-A Reno.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. extended the lead with a two-run shot in the fifth, and Randal Grichuk and James McCann delivered back-to-back solo homers in the sixth.
Zac Gallen (6-9) delivered his best start in weeks by striking out 10 over seven innings and allowing just one earned run.
Catcher Patrick Bailey’s two passed balls led to three unearned runs that widened the Diamondbacks’ advantage.
The Giants will turn to Landen Roupp against Arizona’s Merrill Kelly in Wednesday’s Game 3 as they try to halt a seven-loss stretch in eight games.
