SAN FRANCISCO—Reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell lasted just one inning and 42 pitches, but the San Francisco Giants rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3–2 Thursday behind a walk-off, ninth-inning double from Patrick Bailey, who drove in all three of his team’s runs.

Arizona sent eight batters to the plate in the first inning, taking advantage of defensive sloppiness. Shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald threw wide of second for a run-scoring error on Josh Bell’s grounder, and Corbin Carroll scored from third on a passed ball as Jake McCarthy reached on a dropped third strike.
