SAN FRANCISCO -- Avoiding the possible distraction of Buster Posey's beaning and relying on a bases-loaded comebacker that generated three runs, the San Francisco Giants received an eight-inning three-hitter from starter Matt Moore in a 4-1 decision Monday over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Arizona won thrice in a four-game, season-opening series against the Giants last week. But the D-backs got sloppy in the fourth inning as a pair of throwing errors facilitated San Francisco's odd scoring outburst that broke a scoreless tie.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy cited a little-known statistic Monday to explain the three-run comebacker that helped his club defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4-1.
