Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-out, two-strike grand slam into the San Francisco Bay in the eighth inning Tuesday night, completing a Giants rally that resulted in a 9-8 victory and the Arizona Diamondbacks' 21st consecutive road defeat.

Yastrzemski's first career slam gave the Giants their first lead on a night that began with the Diamondbacks, attempting to end their road skid as well as an 11-game losing streak overall, taking a 7-0 lead in their first two at-bats.

Brandon Belt led off the eighth with his third hit of the game, a double, after which Donovan Solano reached on an infield single.

Two outs later, reliever Humberto Castellanos (0-1) entered and walked pinch hitter Curt Casali to load the bases. Yastrzemski then blasted his moon shot over the right field foul pole, giving the Giants a one-run lead. The homer was Yastrzemski's seventh of the season.

Tyler Rogers closed out the Giants' second straight win to open the four-game series with a 1-2-3 ninth for his ninth save.

The Diamondbacks turned four hits, including a two-RBI single by David Peralta, into a four-run first inning and four more hits, including a two-RBI double by Chris Walker, into a three-run second to go up 7-0.

Josh Rojas and Ketel Marte each singled and scored in both innings.

San Francisco got on the board in the bottom of the second on a Solano RBI groundout, and Steven Duggar followed with his fifth homer of the season, a two-run shot.

Right-hander Jimmy Sherfy (1-0), the fifth Giants pitcher, was credited with the win after pitching a scoreless eighth.

Belt scored three times for the Giants, while Yastrzemski and Solano recorded two hits apiece.
