The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 7-1 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Saturday. Lars Nootbaar delivers a pinch grand slam in the seventh inning, helping extend Arizona’s lead. Merrill Kelly starts on the mound and pitches effectively, finishing with seven shutout innings as the Diamondbacks pull away.
Kelly limits San Francisco’s offense during his stint, allowing only two hits over seven innings while keeping the Giants scoreless. Across the accounts, the key focus is the combination of Arizona’s decisive late-inning power—highlighted by Nootbaar’s grand slam—and Kelly’s run-prevention performance, which sets the overall tone for the one-sided final score.
