Thanks to the seven strong innings from their ace Logan Webb, the Giants were able to withstand a second straight subpar showing from their starting pitcher. The bullpen took down the final five innings to ensure Bailey's tie-breaking two-run home run in the fifth inning would be decisive, defeating the Diamondbacks, 7-3.
Bailey had a standout performance with a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate including a two-run homer and two doubles. Despite missing the cycle, his big day helped overshadow Harrison's short start, continuing the Giants' recent trend of starting pitchers not going beyond the fifth inning.
Harrison, the Giants' starting pitcher, struggled against the Diamondbacks, who are known for hitting fastballs well. While normally effective with his fastball, Harrison gave up hits on the pitch, with his limited use of other offerings contributing to the challenging game.
