In what could be an important series in determining the outcome of the National League West, the San Francisco Giants secured a series victory today with a one run win over the current division leaders. Merrill Kelly got the start today for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Along with Zac Gallen at the top of the rotation, he has been instrumental in how good Arizona has been this season but did not have his best stuff today. San Francisco, on the other hand, went the route of opener/bullpen day using a total of seven pitchers.
Arizona jumped out to an early one run lead in just their second batter of the game when Ketel Marte hammered a 1-1 slider to right field from Ryan Walker.
