The Giants finally broke through against reliever Yoshihisa Hirano in the eighth after a leadoff double by Crawford. He came around to score on an infield out by Blanco.

Archie Bradley pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, striking out two, for his first save.

Goldschmidt's triple, his first of the season, was the Diamondbacks' only extra-base hit of the game.
