Arizona's 7-0 Crush Job on the Giants Is Turning into a Full-Blown Nightmare for San Francisco
Did you see what happened in Phoenix last night? The Arizona Diamondbacks just keep finding ways to absolutely OWN the San Francisco Giants! They snagged a tight 5-4 win on Monday, and get this: they’re now an incredible 7-0 against the Giants this season. Seven-and-freaking-zero! It’s not just a winning streak, it’s a full-blown curse for San Francisco, and they look completely shell-shocked.
Geraldo Perdomo's Bat Explodes, Mahle Can't Catch a Break
The D-backs, coming off three straight losses at Tampa Bay, flipped the script big time. Ketel Marte kicked things off with his 16th homer of the season on Giants starter Tyler Mahle’s second pitch, but San Francisco tied it up in the fifth with a Jonah Cox squeeze bunt. Then, in the bottom of the fifth, with the bases loaded thanks to a Nolan Arenado walk and a Tommy Troy single, Geraldo Perdomo stepped up. He absolutely BLASTED reliever Sam Hentges' fifth pitch to the left field fence, clearing the bases for a massive three-run double. Just like that, Arizona was up 4-1! Mahle had a rough night, charged with four runs on four hits and three walks in just 4 1/3 innings, ending his outing with a 1-8 record.

Rodriguez Deals, Arenado Connects, Giants Almost Claw Back
While Perdomo was the hero with the bat, Eduardo Rodriguez was a wizard on the mound for the D-backs. He was dealing, tossing seven innings of one-run ball, limiting the Giants to just five hits. He picked up his second win against the Giants this season, improving his record to 7-2. Arizona then tacked on a critical run in the sixth when Nolan Arenado launched his ninth homer of the season off Giants’ third pitcher, JT Brubaker, making it 5-1. But the Giants didn't quit! Casey Schmitt hit a sac fly in the eighth to make it 5-2. Then in the ninth, Heliot Ramos smacked his fifth homer, and Drew Cavanaugh, in only his third career game, snagged his first career RBI with a single to get them within one run! D-backs closer Paul Sewald, with his 19th save, shut the door, getting Drew Gilbert to foul out and Matt Chapman to pop out with the tying run stranded at first.
Marte and Arenado each crossed the plate twice, and Arenado even added a single to his monster homer. The D-backs winning despite getting out-hit 9-6 just shows you how clutch they were in the big moments. Luis Arraez, Bryce Eldridge, and Victor Bericoto each had two hits for the Giants, who were actually coming off two straight wins and kicking off a six-game road trip. What a way to start that trip, huh? If you’re a Giants fan, you gotta be wondering if this D-backs curse is ever going to lift. For Arizona, though, they’re riding high, showing they can win the tough ones. Let's see if they can keep this unreal run going against San Francisco!
