D-backs come back from six down, sweep the Giants

Lyle Overbay and Josh Collmentor both made their first appearances for the D-backs on Sunday, showing mixed results. The oldie showed he's still got some pop, but the rookie pitcher from last year had a poor start as he only pitched three innings and let up six runs, including a two-run jack from Buster Posey. Wade Miley would come into the game to relieve Collmentor, pitching 4 hitless innings. Overbay would then hit a two-run double. A couple of innings later, Ryan Roberts would hit a two-run jack, followed by an Overbay homer. In the bottom of the 7th, Pablo Sandoval and Willie Bloomquist would get into a scuffle as the bases were loaded. Miguel Montero would then hit a blooper to score one run, followed by another Chris Young blooper that scored Aaron Hill as Buster Posey came off home plate to let him score. The D-backs would not relinquish their lead, leading to their first come-from-behind victory of the 2012 season.

D-backs top the Giants again, 5-4

The Diamondbacks were on National TV for the first time in a looooooong time and they opened up the game with a loooooong Aaron Hill home run. In fact, Aaron Hill would hit two homers off of a shaky Bumgarner. The D-backs lit up Madison Bumgarner for 4 runs in the first two innings. San Fran would indeed make interesting though, as the Panda (Pablo Sandoval) would hit a two run jack off of Daniel Hudson. Other than two pitches that got away for homers off of D-Huddy, the No. 2 man in the Arizona rotation had a solid game. The Giants would eventually sneak back, down only by one run, but JJ Putz would again close the game.
