Giants avoid avoiding sweep against Diamondbacks, sweep Diamondbacks in Arizona

The Giants have their first 3-game winning streak of the second half and their first sweep, too.

Zack Greinke was coming off an atrocious start against his former team. Matt Moore was coming off an atrocious start in Coors Field. The former was certainly more illustrative in terms of how one pitcher's season has been going than the latter, but given the Giants' fortunes in the second half, it would not have been too surprising if Matt Moore followed up a bad start with a bad start against another team the Giants could've afford to lose to; and, Greinke could've just as easily turned around his woeful (for him) season by buttoning it up against the Giants, a team against which he has historically performed rather well.
