SAN FRANCISCO -- Marquis Grissom drew a bases-loaded walk from Matt Mantei in the 11th inning to give the San Francisco Giants their sixth victory in seven games, 5-4 over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Edgardo Alfonzo led off the 11th with a single off Mantei (5-4), who had issued just 14 walks all season. Yorvit Torrealba and J.T. Snow walked to load the bases with two outs.
Mantei's 3-1 pitch to Grissom wasn't very close, scoring pinch-runner Cody Ransom.
It was the Giants' 22nd victory this season in their final at-bat. They maintained their 12-game NL West lead by beating the Diamondbacks for the 22nd time in their last 29 meetings.
Scott Eyre (2-1) got two outs for the victory.
Steve Finley had four hits, Luis Gonzalez drove in three runs and Raul Mondesi homered for the Diamondbacks, who lost for the 10th time in 11 games at Pacific Bell Park.
