Overview

• Justin Verlander held Arizona to three hits over seven scoreless innings, extending a four-start run of allowing one or zero runs matched by Roger Clemens among pitchers age 42 or older.
• Brandon Pfaadt delivered nine shutout, one-hit innings in the first nine-inning outing of his career, but Arizona fell in extras.
• The Giants finally broke a scoreless game in the 11th on Jerar Encarnación’s RBI single, with Christian Koss’ two-run double and a Rafael Devers RBI adding insurance.
• The result kept San Francisco two games behind the Mets for the final NL Wild Card spot, and Arizona sits 1.5 games back after New York later lost to San Diego.
• D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said the club will operate with a four-man rotation down the stretch, lining up Zac Gallen for three starts and Brandon Pfaadt, Eduardo Rodríguez and Ryne Nelson for two apiece.
