Diamondbacks Win 4-2 vs Giants Behind Ryne Nelson's 6.2 Innings

Ryne Nelson delivered a strong pitching performance for the Arizona Diamondbacks in their 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, ending a four-game losing streak and bringing their record to .500. Nelson struck out six to seven batters over 6.2 innings with a sharp fastball, allowing just two earned runs after being lifted by manager Torey Lovullo in the seventh inning. Despite Nelson leaving with a lead, a two-run double off reliever Juan Morillo allowed the Giants to tie the game momentarily, but the Diamondbacks' offense quickly regained the lead with timely hits, including a solo home run by Eugenio Suárez. The bullpen, including John Curtiss and Shelby Miller, successfully preserved the win, while Giants ace Logan Webb was outperformed, striking out seven but allowing three runs. The Diamondbacks gained ground in the NL Wild Card race, now four games behind, aided by losses from other contenders. Nelson's recent strong outings have been a critical spark for Arizona as they seek to build momentum and secure a playoff spot.
