SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lars Nootbaar homered to center on the first pitch of the game and had three of Arizona's 12 hits to help the Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 10-6 on Friday night.
Arizona moved a half-game back of San Diego for the third wild-card spot in the National League.
Nootbaar's home run was his fifth of the season and one of three hit by the Diamondbacks off Blade Tidwell. Corbin Carroll took Tidwell (0-1) deep to center in the third inning for a two-run homer that put Arizona on top 3-2. It was Carroll's 19th home run of the season.
With two outs in the third, Tim Tawa launched a three-run shot to left off Tidwell to increase the Diamondbacks' lead to 6-2.
The Giants got a solo homer in the first inning and an RBI double in the third from Bryce Eldridge. The rookie has 15 home runs this season.

Red Sox Erase Eight Innings Of Frustration With Wild Walk-Off Win originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox were down to their final three outs Saturday night. They also had not scored a run. That somehow did not stop them from delivering one of their most dramatic wins of the season.
Boston scored three times in the bottom of the ninth inning to stun the San Francisco Giants, 3-2, at Fenway Park. Wilyer Abreu completed the comeback by putting the ball in play with the bases loaded, allowing Evan White to race home with the winning run. It was an unlikely finish for Abreu, who had struck out in each of his first four plate appearances. Faced with one more opportunity, he battled through a seven-pitch at-bat and hit a ground ball toward first base.
Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge attempted to get the force out at home, but his throw was off line. White scored safely, setting off a celebration near home plate and giving Boston its second consecutive win over San Francisco. The win improved the Red Sox to 70-59 overall and 33-32 at Fenway. The Giants dropped to 52-77.
Boston's offense spent most of the evening searching for an answer against Giants starter Blade Tidwell. Tidwell allowed only three hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings. He struck out seven and kept Boston from producing a hit with a runner in scoring position.
