PHILADELPHIA (AP) Denard Span homered leading off the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Thursday for just their fifth win in 14 games since the All-Star break.

Matt Moore made his first start for the NL West leader following his acquisition Monday from Tampa Bay. He allowed two runs and three hits in six innings and walked six - matching his major league high.

Moore gave up one hit through five innings and took a 2-1 lead into the sixth, when Freddy Galvis grounded into a forceout with the bases loaded. Moore then threw a called third strike past pinch-hitter Taylor Featherston.

Span led off the 10th by sending a 95 mph fastball from Severino Gonzalez (0-2) just inside the right-field foul pole, his third hit of the game.

San Francisco, which lost the first two games of the series, has not been swept by Philadelphia in 10 years.
