SAN FRANCISCO — Chris Stratton waited nearly two weeks for this night. When it came, he opened the festivities by loading the bases ahead of Paul Goldschmidt in the top of the first inning.
The Giants still won.
This was a day unlike most of the rest this season, and it started early. The Giants added Pablo Sandoval to the roster in the morning and put him right in the cleanup spot. Comeback day turned into comeback night, as Jarrett Parker — fresh off a rehab assignment — played hero, knocking in the winning run in a 5-4 victory over the Diamondbacks.
