SAN FRANCISCO — Tyler Fitzgerald singled off reliever Kevin Ginkel leading off the seventh inning to end the Arizona Diamondbacks' bid for a no-hitter Wednesday night.
Fitzgerald, one of San Francisco’s best hitters this season, singled on an 0-1 pitch from Ginkel, who relieved Zac Gallen after the starter threw 100 pitches over six innings. LaMonte Wade Jr. followed Fitzgerald’s hit with a two-run homer.
Gallen threw 63 strikes, striking out eight and walking four.
