SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants came into Wednesday’s game riding a five-game win streak with their starting rotation turned to its ace, who gave them their best shot until the Arizona Diamondbacks put together a comeback against the bullpen. The Giants lost 3-2.
The Giants carried a 2-1 lead heading into the eighth inning. Dominic Leone gave up a go-ahead two-run RBI single to Jake McCarthy and the Giants combined base-running blunders with lackluster at-bats meant a comeback of their own wasn’t in the cards.
Against a contact-happy Diamondbacks team that’s given Carlos Rodón fits this year, Rodón struck out 11 batters and held Arizona to one run. His 10th strikeout in the sixth inning marked his seventh double-digit strikeout game of the season. A feat no Giant had reached since Tim Lincecum recorded seven double-digit strikeout games in 2010.
