Manaea put together his best outing as a Giant.

Sean Manaea scattered three hits over seven shutout innings to beat the Dodgers for the first time in his career, and the San Francisco Giants won 5-1.

Freddie Freeman records his 200th hit of the season, but it's not enough to overcome the Dodgers' pitching struggles in a 5-1 loss to the Giants.

The Giants have lost five of their past six, fell to 76-76 for the season, and are 3 1/2 games back for the final playoff spot.

Merrill Kelly threw 6 2/3 strong innings, Corbin Carroll hit his 25th homer and stole his 50th base of the season, and the Arizona Diamondbacks won their fifth straight game by beating the San Francisco Giants 7-1 on Wednesday.

TL;DR: D-Backs ride a well-rounded offense and an excellent start from Merrill Kelly to a mini-sweep and a fifth straight win.

Corbin Carroll swiped his 50th base of the season, followed with his 25th homer and then made a nice, running defensive play to track down a line drive in left field that wrapped up Arizona's 7-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Carroll had four hits, including a solo homer, Merrill Kelly threw 6 2/3 strong innings and the Diamondbacks won their fifth straight game. Arizona is one game in front of the Chicago Cubs for the second of three National League wild-card berths.

The SF Giants have lost five of their last six games, and failed to put up much of a fight in a two-game sweep at the hands of the Diamondbacks.

The Giants were swept by Arizona and outscored 15-6 over the two-game series.

Others have exceeded them, jumping more firmly onto the prospect radar with breakout campaigns. Jim Callis recently highlighted some with his own All-Breakout Prospect Team, but that squad doesn’t provide
