Flores hit a grand slam off Montgomery in the third inning and the Giants went on to win 9-3, salvaging the final game of their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hicks was charged with two runs on six hits, four walks and seven strikeouts. It was a grueling day, but one that showed he might not be wearing down at all as his first full season as a starter hits a third month.
Hicks topped out at 99 mph and threw seven other pitches at 98 mph. It was his best fastball in at least a couple of months, a good sign since he now has thrown the second-most innings of his career.
