D-backs can't fend off Giants in ninth

SAN FRANCISCO -- Andrew McCutchen recorded another game-winning hit Tuesday night, lining a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to lift the Giants over the D-backs, 5-4.

Paul Goldschmidt's two-out homer off Giants closer Hunter Strickland forged a 4-4 tie in the top of the ninth inning. But that didn't stop the Giants. Kelby Tomlinson drew a walk from Jorge De La Rosa and advanced to second base on Gorkys Hernandez's sacrifice bunt. Austin Jackson drew an intentional walk and Brandon Belt walked before McCutchen, whose three-run homer Saturday gave the Giants their last victory, lined the first pitch he saw into left field.
