PHOENIX - Swing games could not get swingier than Sunday's. A Giants win and they split a road series against the first-place team to move within five games of the lead with 49 to play. Lose and they fall seven out after dropping three of four at Chase Field.
One of the hottest Giants took his biggest swing of the season and got the Giants their split.
Evan Longoria homered against Archie Bradley with one out in the eighth inning, a 402-smash onto the overhang just left of straightaway center, to break a tie and send the Giants to a 3-2 victory.
