Arizona’s Mark Trumbo cranked a grand slam Monday, leading the Diamondbacks to a 6-2 win over the visiting San Francisco Giants at Chase Field in Phoenix.

It was the third consecutive loss for the Giants, who are trying to catch up to the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers won 11-3 at Colorado, increasing their lead in the NL West over San Francisco to four games. The Giants are 2 ½ games ahead of idle Pittsburgh in the NL Wild Card standings.

Trumbo finished the game with five runs batted in, while Snakes starter Wade Miley (8-11) allowed one run over seven innings.

Trumbo hit his second career slam off San Francisco starter Ryan Vogelsong (8-11) in the fourth inning. He also had an RBI single in the seventh.

Vogelsong surrendered four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over 5 2/3 innings.

Offensively for the Giants, Joaquin Arias collected three hits and Buster Posey added an RBI single.

GIANTS JOTTINGS: San Francisco 1B Brandon Belt was activated from the disabled list prior to the game after clearing concussion protocols. Belt had been sidelined since Aug. 8. … The probables for Tuesday’s game are RHP Jake Peavy for the Giants facing RHP Josh Collmenter for Arizona.
