What happened: Bryce Eldridge collected four hits and four RBI in a game, the first San Francisco Giants rookie to do that since Buster Posey in 2010. The Arizona Diamondbacks won the game 7-1.

Why it matters: The comparison to Posey, a franchise icon and three-time World Series champion, underscores how rare the offensive line is for a first-year Giants hitter. Eldridge has been a season-long bright spot for San Francisco, and the milestone adds to the same Bryce Eldridge who leads NL rookies in slugging and wRC+.

By the numbers: Diamondbacks enter at 71-57 this season, scoring 4.6 runs per game; Giants are 52-76, scoring 4.1. The result evens the season series between the two clubs at 2-2.

What to watch: The Giants and Diamondbacks continue their series with the standings tied at 2-2.
