MLB: Diamondbacks Sweep Giants With Soroka's Quality Start, Extend Win Streak to Five

The Arizona Diamondbacks secured a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday, completing a three-game series sweep and extending their winning streak to five games. The win was anchored by a strong performance from former All-Star right-hander Michael Soroka, who pitched six innings and allowed just two earned runs.

Soroka, despite a shaky second inning where the Giants scored their only runs, settled in to retire 18 consecutive batters from the third through the sixth innings. He finished his outing with 83 pitches, allowing four hits, striking out three, and walking none. This marked his fourth quality start in five May appearances, lowering his ERA to 3.25.

The Diamondbacks' offense broke through in the sixth inning. After the Giants took a 2-0 lead, Arizona responded with a run-scoring single from Adrian Del Castillo. An ensuing error and a sacrifice fly by Geraldo Perdomo then gave the Diamondbacks the lead.

Arizona's bullpen held the lead, with Ryan Thompson, Brandyn Garcia, and Kevin Ginkel combining for two scoreless innings before closer Paul Sewald recorded his 14th save. The loss was charged to Giants starter Trevor McDonald, who also pitched well but fell to 2-2 on the season. The Giants' Luis Arraez continued to hit well, going 3-for-4 and raising his batting average to .325.
