Diamondbacks 7, Giants 2: Goldie Plates Five. Collmenter Strong

Paul Goldschmidt continued his absolute mastery of Tim Lincecum this evening, driving in four runs against the former Cy Young winner, with a sacrifice fly and three-run homer. He had a career-high five RBI in all, easily enough to back a strong outing from Josh Collmenter, who went five innings, allowing one run on two hits and two walks, with four strikeouts. The other two Arizona runs both scored on wild pitches, while Aaron Hill had three hits, raising his average for the season to .303.

Battle Moses will be along with the recap later, but don't expect a roll-call as 'charmer's script is not able to cope with the new system - specifically pages where the comments don't appear until you look at them. Guess SB Nation United must have been programmed by Erwin Schrodinger. Ah, quantum physics humor. So, a neutron walks into a bar and says, "How much for a drink?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge." Hello? Hello? Is this United on?
