PHOENIX (AP) — Christian Walker hit a three-run homer off a frustrated Carlos Rodón and the Arizona Diamondbacks handed the San Francisco Giants their sixth straight loss, 7-3. The Diamondbacks won for the fifth time in eight games against the Giants this season after winning just twice in 19 meeetings last year. San Francisco, which won 107 games a year ago, fell below .500 for the first time this season. The Giants are 11-22 since reaching their season high of 10 games over .500 on June 18. Walker’s 23rd homer broke a 2-2 tie in the third against Rodón, who only gave up three hits in six innings.
