De La Rosa, Diamonbacks blank Giants 2-0
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rubby De La Rosa pitched into the sixth inning to outduel Madison Bumgarner, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 2-0 on Friday night.
A.J. Pollock had two hits and made a stellar defensive play in the eighth to help preserve the Diamondbacks' 10th shutout of the season. Paul Goldschmidt also had two hits and scored a run as Arizona got its fifth consecutive win at AT&T Park.
De La Rosa (13-8) allowed only one hit over 5 2/3 innings to beat the Giants for the third time this season. He left with the bases loaded in the sixth.
Bumgarner (18-8) gave up only one earned run in eight innings but was denied in his bid to join Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs as baseball's only 19-game winners this season.
The Giants dropped 8 1/2 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West with 15 to play.
