The San Francisco Giants lost 4-2 on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona is a tuff team to beat this year and this was a hard match up for the struggling Giants lineup. The Giants just couldn’t keep the Diamondbacks inside the ballpark as the D-backs hit three home runs in the game.
Kevin Correia was the opening pitcher for the Giants throwing for six innings and giving up eight hits, three runs, and two walks. He was only able to strikeout two Arizona batters. This loss put him at 1-3 for the year. Merkin Valdez and Brad Hennessey were brought in to pitch the last two innings. Valdez did allow one run to cross the plate while Hennessey pitched a scoreless inning.
The Giants scored in the second inning when Jose Castillo singled to center field and scored Aaron Rowand. The scond Giants run came in the third inning when Fred Lewis hit a solo home run.
The Giants will face off against the Diamondbacks one more time tonight in Arizona before heading to San Diego to take on the Padres for a two game series.
