For the San Francisco Giants, six pitchers and two hits equaled one satisfying win Thursday afternoon.
The Giants will look to extend their lead atop the National League wild-card standings Saturday night when they visit the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a two-game "Bay Bridge" series.
LaMonte Wade Jr. homered in the fourth inning to lift the host Giants to their third straight win, a 1-0 blanking of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of a four-game set. The visiting Athletics fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who finished off a sweep with an 8-2 victory. Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt retired the first nine batters before Wade homered to right field on a 2-2 pitch. The Giants had just two more baserunners -- Isan Diaz walked in the sixth and Michael Conforto singled in the seventh -- but six pitchers combined to limit Arizona to six hits."I have fun in those games," Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. "The close games are the ones that give you the best adrenaline rush and that make you feel most alive.
