Say one thing about the Giants: They certainly have resilience about them.

They survived a blown save in the bottom of the ninth, rallying in the very next inning to down the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4-3, at Chase Field Wednesday to even this three-game series at a game apiece.

With the win, the Giants snapped a four-game losing streak and collected their first win of the season inside of Chase Field.

“That was a hard-fought game,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “Our bats were a lot better tonight. I thought we were a lot more selective and didn’t chase (bad pitches). The guys did a great job of battling up there.

Brandon Belt, who has been moved up and down the lineup this season as Bochy has searched for answers, hit a two-run homer in the top of the 10th inning to put the Giants ahead, before they held on and withstood an Arizona rally in the bottom of the inning to get the much-needed win.

Another bright spot has been Evan Longoria, who had a miserable start to the season at the plate. He has since worked his batting average to a respectable .241 and tagged starter Robbie Ray for a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give the Giants a 2-0 lead while also going 3-for-4 on Wednesday.

Starter Chris Stratton had one of his finest outings of the year, going seven innings and giving up only a run on five hits, collective eight strikeouts and did not walk a single batter.

“He did a terrific job,” Bochy said. “He was throwing very well. With Stratton, the way he’s throwing the ball, not just this year but (also) the end of last year, he’s one of our (starters).

Andrew McCutchen also had a multi-hit game for the Giants, going 2-for-5 while stealing a base and also scoring a run.

The Giants and Dbacks conclude the three-game set Thursday night at 6:40 pm PT.
