The Giants set an obscure record, but it is little consolation as they relent the NL West lead to the Diamondbacks. In the Giants’ 9 – 2 loss to the Pirates, Pablo Sandoval hits a solo homer off Jeff Karstens – the 19th consecutive solo shot by the team, tying a record set by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1914. The Giants’ last long ball with men on base was on July 6th. Meanwhile in Phoenix, the D-Backs set down the Astros, 6 – 3, as Henry Sosa is the loser in his major league debut, to go half a game up on the Giants. Josh Collmenter is the winner.
