SAN FRANCISCO-On a night where the San Francisco Giants celebrated their 2014 World Championship by issuing the rings, Chris Heston got them into the win column at home.

Heston pitched 7.2 innings, allowing just one run on four hits, while walking just one and striking out six and the Giants stopped their eight-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks before a crowd of 41,756, the 333rd consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.

The 7.2 innings pitched by Heston are the most pitched by a Giants rookie since Madison Bumgarner tossed eight innings against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park on July 6, 2010.

Going back to 1914, Heston is the first Giants pitcher to start a season with three straight starts of six plus innings and one or fewer runs in each outing, thus according to STATS, LLC.

Brandon Crawford hit his third home of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Crawford leads the team with three home runs, and is tied with Jed Lowrie of the Houston Astros with the most home runs by a shortstop.

With the victory, the Giants snapped their eight-game losing streak, their longest such streak since losing eight in a row from June 13-22, 2007.

Angel Pagan saw his 16-game hitting streak against the Diamondbacks come to an end, as he went 0-for-4 on the evening.

Brandon Belt broke out of a 0-for-20 slump, as he singled in the bottom of the seventh inning off of Evan Marshall.

Rubby De La Rosa pitched 6.2 innings for the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs on nine hits, while walking two and striking out seven.

NOTES: Jake Peavy was placed on the disabled list with a back strain, and the Giants have recalled Andrew Susac from Sacramento.

While with the Rivercats, Susac was hitting .350 (7-for-20) with three doubles and an RBI in six games.

Tim Hudson takes the mound for the Giants on Sunday, while Jeremy Hellickson takes the ball for the Diamondbacks.
