SAN FRANCISCO -- One of the oddest series in Major League Baseball this season begins a fourth chapter Friday night when the Arizona Diamondbacks visit the San Francisco Giants.Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin (4-6) will open the three-game set against Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija (8-5).In a season when the Giants compiled the fourth-best home record in the National League (26-17), none of that success came against the Diamondbacks.Corbin missed Arizonas four-game sweep at AT&T Park in April, a series that ended with the Giants scoring a total of just three runs in the final three games.The Giants walked off the home field 7-10 on April 21, a day on which the Diamondbacks handed Johnny Cueto his only loss of the season.But San Francisco has since gone 47-23, aided in large part by seven meetings with the Diamondbacks in Arizona. The Giants have gone 6-1 in those games.Samardzija helped in the turnaround in his first outing against the Diamondbacks, May 19, at Arizona. He pitched one of his best games of the season, limiting the home team to one run over eight innings in a 3-1 Giants win.The next day, the Giants got to Corbin for nine hits in 6 1/3 innings in a 5-3 win.Following two four-game sweeps that were totally dominated by the road team -- the Diamondbacks outscored the Giants 20-10 at San Francisco; the Giants outscored the Diamondbacks 14-7 at Arizona -- the clubs played a tight, three-game series last week in Arizona.The Giants prevailed in two of three, with San Francisco winning a 6-4 game before the clubs split one-run affairs.Corbin and Samardzija went head-to-head in the middle game of the series Saturday, with neither getting a decision in a game the Diamondbacks won 6-5.Corbin allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings, Samardzija four runs in 7 1/3.The Diamondbacks won the game against the San Francisco bullpen when Welington Castillo bombed a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning.The Giants won three of four since then, including two of three over the Colorado Rockies to begin their current six-game homestand.The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, have lost three of four, including two of three against the San Diego Padres in a duel of the bottom two teams in the NL West.Getting back on the road might not be a bad thing for the Diamondbacks, who have been plagued by poor home attendance of late.The guys didnt let down because it wasnt a big crowd with a lot of emotion, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said after his teams only win in the San Diego series Tuesday. They created their own emotion in the dugout. Thats baseball.The Giants hope to have center fielder Denard Span back from a neck injury for Fridays series opener.That doesnt mean time off for replacement center fielder Angel Pagan, one of the clubs hottest hitters of late.Weve got a nice (All-Star) break coming up, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said when discussing Pagan before Wednesdays win over the Rockies. With all our injuries, we need his bat in there. Curry 5 Low White . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds."

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianas final offensive possession didnt go according to plan, though the Pacers wont complain.Paul George was supposed to get the ball with the game tied at 105 and 4.6 seconds left. Instead, it was Thaddeus Young who popped up to the top of the key to take Jeff Teagues inbound pass.Young squared up his defender, Markieff Morris, drove to the left side of the lane and tossed in a runner with 0.9 seconds remaining to give the Pacers a 107-105 victory over the Washington Wizards on Monday night.The plan was to get the ball to Paul for the last shot and they denied him, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said. Thad came to the ball and we wanted to attack the basket. Thad did what he was supposed to do. He put his head down and attacked the basket. When the game is on the line, you want to get the ball to your best player to get a shot or get a shot for an open teammate.George scored 27 and finished with nine rebounds. Teague added 23 points to go along with his 10 assists, but the Pacers needed the last of Youngs 12 points after the Wizards scored seven straight to tie it. Young also added 11 rebounds.Bradley Beal missed a potential winning 3-pointer at the buzzer and scored 22 points.Marcin Gortat finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds, John Wall added 19 points and 10 assists, and Otto Porter Jr. scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds.Myles Turner finished with eight rebounds to go along with his 20 points and five blocks, including an emphatic rejection in the third quarter that sent Walls layup into the third row of the crowd. Turner fouled out of the game with a little less than two minutes remaining.Georges jumper with 2 minutes to play gavve Indiana a 105-98 lead, before the Wizards fought back with a 7-0 scoring run, tying the game on Beals jumper with 15 seconds to go.dddddddddddd The back-and-forth scoring was a common theme during the final quarter, and one the Pacers outlasted.We all stuck together and continued to play hard, continued to play through adversity, Young said. We had an answer for each and every time they scored.The start of the game had a different theme, though. The Wizards stormed out to a 12-1 lead that forced the Pacers to call timeout less than three minutes into the game. Wall and Beal each scored 10 points in the first quarter. Indiana tied it at 57 at halftime.The Pacers led 88-79 at the end of the third quarter, but the Wizards 9-0 run to start the fourth tied it at 88, setting up the final nine minutes.This (loss) was a little more frustrating, Wall said. We got stops when we needed to, we executed our offense down the stretch, and we also kept the ball out of their best players hands.TIP-INS:Pacers: Six players scored in double figures. ...
