The player Melky Cabrera singled four times to extend his hitting streak to 11
games, player Gregor Blanco drove in three runs with a pair of top hits and the San
Francisco Giants beat Arizona 7-3 on Sunday to take two of three from
the Diamondbacks.
The player Brett Pill hit a two-run homer and Barry Zito
(2-1) earned his first win since his opening start. Jason Kubel went 3
for 4 with a pair of doubles and drove in two runs for the Diamondbacks,
who finished their homestand 1-5.
San Francisco had a season-high 14 top hits, 10 of them against player starter Joe Saunders (2-3).
Zito
allowed three runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out five,
walked three and hit a batter with a pitch. The left-hander entered with
a 2.21 ERA but, thanks mostly to a lack of offensive full support, had not
won since a 7-0 shutout at Colorado on April 8. Zito has not given up
more than three runs in any of his seven starts runs.
