Socrates Brito homers in Diamondbacks victory over Giants
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Socrates Brito hit a two-run homer, Rickie Weeks collected a pair of hits and an Arizona Diamondbacks split-squad beat a San Francisco Giants split-squad 9-5 on Saturday.
Giants closer Santiago Casilla made his spring debut with a scoreless inning, giving up a hit and striking out a pair.
Archie Bradley started and went three innings for the Diamondbacks, allowing a run-scoring single by Jarrett Parker and not much else. Parker homered in the ninth.
Brandon Drury went 2 for 3 and drove in a run. He's 8 for 14, with three doubles, a pair of homers and six RBIs, over his past five games. Brito has hit safely in seven straight, with eight RBIs.
Peter O'Brien had three hits and a pair of RBIs, and former Giant Joaquin Arias, who acknowledged a warm ovation, drove in a run.
Ty Blach made the start for the Giants, pitching three innings.
