San Francisco 3, Arizona 7
When a team says that a game went just the way they drew it up, this is pretty much what they are talking about. The Diamondbacks scored quickly. Tyler Gilbert was an effective opener, giving the Diamondbacks two runs through the rotation. Then, the bullpen took over and was mostly spot-on, allowing only one run, two hits, and one walk. Mark Melancon even looked the sharpest he has all season long.
