PHOENIX — The Giants were enjoying one of their most satisfying moments of the season Thursday night, relishing in a 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.
It was the first time the Giants beat Zack Greinke, who had been 8-0 in 11 career starts.
Johnny Cueto lasted seven innings for the seventh time in eight starts and dropped his ERA to 2.97.
The offense got timely hits, a rare feat of late, after going 2-for-35 with runners in scoring position the previous four games.
But long after the game, in a corner of the visitors’ clubhouse at Chase Field, closer Santiago Casilla was fuming because he was pulled by manager Bruce Bochy with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
