 The Giants bullpen has a 2.31 ERA in 16 games against the D'backs this season; that mark is the sixth lowest by any National League team against a single opponent this season, and is the best mark by the Giants bullpen against any team they have played at least seven games.

 The Diamondbacks beat the Mariners yesterday to avoid being swept at home for the first time since the Giants swept them from June 29-July 1. They have spent 118 days in first place this season, their most since 2008 (154 days).

 David Peralta is hitting .400 with a 1.223 OPS during his six-game hitting streak with three home runs and seven RBI. He is one of six players with at least 25 home runs and a .300+ batting average, joining J.D. Martinez, Nolan Arenado, Manny Machado, Mookie Betts, and Mike Trout.

 Austin Slater is slashing .476/.560/.619 against the Diamondbacks this season; his .560 OBP is the sixth-highest mark by a Giants rookie against any single opponent in the live-ball era. He is hitting .256 the first time he faces a pitcher this season, and his average jumps to .393 in his second turn in the order.

 Patrick Corbin is striking out 11.02 hitters per nine innings this season, up from 8.45 last year. That is the second-largest increase in baseball, behind only Gerrit Cole. Corbin hasn't allowed a home run in his last 11 starts, which ties for the longest streak in franchise history, and his 0.61 HR/9 mark ranks fourth in baseball.

 Since July 1, Chris Stratton has allowed opponents to hit .405 against him, the worst mark in baseball over that span (minimum three starts). His run support average at home this season is 7.31, ranking fourth in the National League this season (minimum nine home starts).

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants get a crack at one of the three teams ahead of them in both the National League West and wild-card races when they host the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks in a three-game series beginning Monday night.
The Giants (65-67) responded to the loss of catcher Buster Posey to season-ending hip surgery with two straight wins over the Texas Rangers, keeping them within eight games of the Diamondbacks (72-58) in the West and eight behind the Milwaukee Brewers (73-59) for the second wild-card spot.

Giants see opportunity against Diamondbacks to close gap

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)  The best game of Chris Stratton's career got off to a shaky start when the San Francisco pitcher allowed hits to his first two batters and fell behind in the count 3-0 to the third.
A deep breath, a little faith in catcher Nick Hundley and a fastball that was effective all night settled things down.
