SAN FRANCISCO -- Pinch-hitter Gorkys Hernandez's ninth-inning single snapped a scoreless tie Tuesday night and gave the Giants a 1-0 victory over the D-backs at AT&T Park.
The Giants, who'll try to complete a sweep of the three-game series Wednesday night, began their winning rally in modest fashion as Steven Duggar drew a one-out walk against Brad Ziegler. Nick Hundley singled sharply to left field, prompting the D-backs to replace Ziegler with left-hander Jake Diekman. Up came Hernandez, who batted for would-be pinch-hitter Alen Hanson. Hernandez singled cleanly to left on the first pitch, scoring Duggar easily.
