PHOENIX -- Hunter Pence is on quite a roll for the San Francisco Giants.Pence had three hits, including a solo homer, and Johnny Cueto pitched seven solid innings to lead the Giants to an 11-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.Pence has seven hits in eight at-bats in the first two games of the three-game set. He is the first major leaguer to score four runs in consecutive games since David Wright of the Mets accomplished the feat in August 2005.Thats baseball, the ebbs and flows. Just trying to have good at-bats and trying to feel good, Pence said. I dont really dwell on it too much, just keep going and get ready for tomorrow.Cueto (15-5) allowed two runs and three hits while improving to 6-1 in eight career games at Chase Field. He struck out six and walked two in his fifth start against Arizona this season.I felt good with everything I had. I executed my pitches, Cueto said. I just want to keep moving forward and keep supporting the team, and I pitched the way I wanted to.San Francisco jumped out to a 5-0 lead against Archie Bradley (6-9). Pence singled and scored on Joe Paniks double in the second, and Cueto helped himself during the Giants four-run third.Buster Posey tripled in Angel Pagan and scored on Brandon Crawfords double before Cueto hit a two-out RBI single. Cueto waved his left arm wildly as he ran to first base in an effort to get the Giants to send another runner around third base for home.Pence opted to stay at third and then scored on a Bradley wild pitch.I really wanted him to score, Cueto said with a chuckle.Peter OBrien, hitting for Bradley in the third, homered over the Diamondbacks bullpen for the first hit of the game off Cueto. The All-Star right-hander didnt allow another hit until Jake Lambs double in the seventh.He did a great job of disrupting timing, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. Guys were not able to square him up. I dont think we had many well-hit balls off him. He was moving the ball all around, up, down, in, out. He was using his cutter effectively.Yasmany Tomas hit his 28th homer in the ninth for Arizona, which has dropped five in a row.Panik, Pagan and Eduardo Nunez had three hits apiece for San Francisco, which stayed four games back of NL West-leading Los Angeles. Pagan tripled and scored on Silvino Brachos wild pitch in the eighth.A lot of guys had good days, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. And then you look at what Johnny did. ... (Pence) is swinging well right now. Hes doing a nice job with two-strike hitting.San Franciscos Brandon Belt lost a three-run home run on an umpire review in the eighth. Replays showed the ball hit below the yellow line in center field. Belt was credited with a two-run double.Bradley lasted three innings and allowed five runs and eight hits in his shortest start of the season.LET THERE BE TWILIGHTThe retractable roof over Chase Field parted to reveal the early evening sky. The roof opened as the fifth inning got started. Game-time temperature was 98 degrees outside.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: Nunez injured an ankle on Friday night but it wasnt serious enough to keep him out of Saturdays lineup.Diamondbacks: OF A.J. Pollock had a scan done on his injured groin, and he has a strain that could cost him the rest of the season. Hale said Pollock will need at least a week before he resumes physical activity, but added the strain is treatable and didnt rule out a return. ... C Chris Herrmann is out for the rest of the season with a broken hand that will require surgery. Herrmann was injured on a slide Friday night. ... LHP Andrew Chafin had an MRI after he felt shoulder tightness warming up in the bullpen on Friday. Some of these injuries are really freaky injuries that were having, Hale said.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Matt Moore faces Arizona on Sunday afternoon. Moore (9-11) is set to make his 29th start of the season and eighth with the Giants.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke (12-5) faces the Giants on Sunday.

SYDNEY -- Royal Sydney was there for the taking on Thursday morning, yet star international attraction Jordan Spieth was more than content with his three-under round and place in the Australian Open field.Sunny skies and next to no wind made for a perfect scoring environment early on at Royal Sydney -- located just five minutes drive from the famed Bondi Beach -- with Australian amateur Curtis Luck taking advantage of the benign conditions to grab a share of the lead at five-under after the morning wave.Playing his first competitive round at Royal Sydney after winning at The Australian in 2014 and finishing runner-up to Matt Jones at The Lakes last year, Spieth struggled off the tee at times but also showed touches of the class that has taken him to two major triumphs and a stretch as world No. 1.After putting in the deep greenside bunker on the par-three 17th, Spieth dug himself out of trouble in sensational style by stiffing it to a foot to save par, a feat he repeated on 18, before he began the front nine with back-to-back birdies.A birdie on the par-five seventh following a superb second shot saw him momentarily grab a share of the lead, but the good work was undone a hole later when he duffed a flop shot having driven through the green, which resulted in a bogey.Still, the American was more than content with his efforts on day one and predicted conditions to toughen into Friday and across the weekend.I think if I can shoot three-under each day, given the course is going to play harder the next three, shoot three-under each day, then Ill be in good shape, Spieth said.I would certainly like to have gotten off and made a few more putts, but at the same time I was in trouble off the tee a few times and salvaged par. So I feel like Im in good shape to contend at this event, just would like to post the same score three more times.ddddddddddddSpieths next assignment will be to negotiate a sticky afternoon tee time on Friday with the temperature in Sydney set to climb to 30 degrees Celsius.The hot conditions are unlikely to serve as a deterrent to the crowds, with Spieths gallery growing throughout the opening round -- culminating on the ninth green where there was next to no viewing spots when the American finished up.Kids were out on course early to watch Spieth in action, some making their way to lessons after just a few holes while others took the opportunity to watch the world No.5 cut his way through all 18.Those a little older would have enjoyed the performance of young Aussie amateur Luck who took the marquee pairing in his stride -- Geoff Ogilvy rounding out the trio -- the 20-year-old west Australian earning high praise from former Masters champion Spieth.Really, really impressive player, Curtis, real simple golf swing, Spieth said of Luck.Just kind of understands where hes at and how to play different shots, and then around the greens he was spectacular, which is something you certainly need to take with you up to the next level. So hes certainly got all the tools.He could have shot even par for the day, instead he turned that into five-under in the middle of the roundSo thats the kind of stuff that is unteachable, and he has that.Spieth, too, has proven he has those unteachable qualities and armed with a few local lessons from Thursday, its little wonder he was happy with his opening-round return.
