Rookie Arroyo continues tear, but Giants fall

Giants rookie Christian Arroyo provided an oddity along with some offense by homering off Reds starter Bronson Arroyo, who isn't related to him but graduated from the same high school -- Hernando H.S. in Brooksville, Fla. -- 18 years before Christian did. Bronson Arroyo earned the victory, lasting 5 1/3 innings while yielding five hits and three runs (two earned). Giants starter Matt Cain, who compiled a 1.17 ERA in his previous four starts, matched career highs by walking six and allowing nine runs during his 3 1/3-inning stint.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
