The San Francisco Giants played the Arizona Diamondbacks tough on Monday night but in the end it was the D-backs coming out on top with a 3-1 victory over the Giants.
Starting Giants pitcher Brad Hennessey tossed all eight innings for the Giants as he took the loss. Hennessey made two bad pitches and they were both hit over the fence for home runs. Justin Upton first went deep in the fourth inning for a solo home run and then in the bottom of the eighth inning, Adam Dunn connected on the game winning shot with a runner on base. Hennessey is now 1-2 on the season.
The one run that the Giants scored came in the third inning when Rich Aurilia scored on an error by Diamondbacks centerfielder Chris Young. Not much offense for the Giants as they struggled against Doug Davis and two relief pitchers for the Diamondbacks.
Game two of the series will be played on Tuesday night. Hopefully the Giatns offense can come around and give the pitchers some run support.
