Gerardo Parra News

Tim Lincecum pitched seven stellar innings and Andres Torres went 3-for-4 and lacked only a double for the cycle Thursday as the Giants completed a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 7-3 triumph.

Gerardo Parra doubled in the go-ahead runs, Brandon Allen and Ryan Roberts homered and the last-place Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 Friday night, sending the NL wild card leaders to their fifth loss in six games.

Ronnie Belliard hit the last of Los Angeles' five two-out singles in the eighth inning, breaking a tie and giving the Dodgers a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
