What happened: The San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 in the finale of their series in the desert. The win came after Arizona had taken the first two games, giving the Giants a split of the final game and denying the Diamondbacks a series sweep. Arizona now leads the three-game set 2-1.

Why it matters: For San Francisco, sitting at 35-49 on the season, the result is a needed win against a divisional opponent that had dominated the recent head-to-head. Arizona, at 42-42, had won five straight meetings against the Giants entering the finale, so ending that run carries some weight for a San Francisco club trying to stabilize.

What to watch: San Francisco now shifts its focus to its next series on the road as it looks to build on the finale win and climb back in the standings.
