SAN FRANCISCO-It looks like the odd year theory for the San Francisco Giants not making the playoffs is not too far away from coming true.

David Peralta singled in A.J. Pollock in the top of the first inning, as the Arizona Diamondbacks made it two in a row with a 6-0 victory over the Giants before a crowd of 41,206,the 400th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.

This was the second consecutive shutout for the Diamondbacks, and this was the first time that the Giants have been shutout in back-to-back games since July 28 and 29, 2012 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

This as the 14th time this season that the Giants have been shutout this season, and the fifth time versus the Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks added two more runs in the top of the second inning, as Chris Owings singled in Phil Gosselin and then Ender Inciarte singled in Owings three batters later.

Patrick Corbin pitched a great game for the Diamondbacks, as he went seven innings, allowing zero runs on five hits, walking none and striking out five.

On the other side of things, Mike Leake lasted just three innings, allowing three runs on eight runs and walked one.

Corbin helped out his own cause in the top of the fifth inning, as he singled in Gosselin; however he was thrown out trying his single into a double.

Inciarte added another run batted in, as he singled in Pollock in the top of the sixth inning, as the leadoff hitter Pollock singled, stole second and went to third on a Trevor Brown throwing error.

Yusmeiro Petit was not his usual solid self, as he went two innings, allowing one runs on five hits.

Matt Cain made his second career appearance out of the bullpen and gave up one run in one inning of work. This was Cain’s first relief appearance since May 16, 2006 against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
