Diamondbacks' Zack Greinke: Picks up 12th win against Giants

Greinke (12-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on six this and two walks over six innings in a win Tuesday over the Giants.

Analysis:

Greinke managed just one strikeout, but he was ahead in the count all night (21 first-pitch strikes to 27 hitters) and thus managed to keep the Giants off balance enough to induce seven groundouts and 10 flyouts. Since a slow April, Greinke has been much better -- he owns a 3.66 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 16 starts since May, but his 7.5 K/9 in those 98.1 innings is well below his career norm. He has finished with a K/9 under 8.0 just once since 2011.
