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.

Rosbergs success at Sao Paulo is in sharp contrast to his team-mates struggles: Hamilton, whose helmet this weekend has been adorned with a tribute to his idol Ayrton Senna, has never won in Brazil. Why hasnt Hamilton won the Brazilian GP? While the odds thus far appear to be stacked against Hamilton, the world champion has recently rediscovered his mojo in adversity, winning the US and Mexican GPs to cut Rosbergs title lead to 19 points after the German had surged 33 points clear a month ago when he won in Japan.But what Hamilton needs now is his first-ever win at Interlagos - and to heed a lesson from history. In 2014 and 2015, Rosberg claimed pole ahead of Hamilton by less than a tenth of a second with the Englishman then enduring a pair of frustrating race days around the narrow and overtaking-unfriendly Interlagos circuit.You have to have a really big delta to the car in front here [to overtake], Hamilton told Sky Sports F1. The last two years Ive been right up behind the back end of the car in front and its been impossible to overtake.Position is everything this weekend so l will be gunning for pole position. Hamilton seized the early iniative in Friday practice, edging out Rosberg at the top of the timesheets in both sessions. But the margins separating the two Mercedes drivers pointed to a closely-fought contest this weekend - after Hamilton beat Rosberg by two tenths of a second in Practice One, Rosberg was just a few hundreths behind in Practice Two.It remains distinctly possible Hamilton will end the season with four consecutive victories to finish 2016 as the moral champion while Rosberg will be crowed the bona-fide champion merely by cruising to second place in both Brazil this Sunday and the campaign-concluding Abu Dhabi GP.But Hamilton will take no solace in any expression of superiority over his team-mate unless its sufficient to claim his fourth world championship.Nobody remembers if you were the ultimate best driver, they just remember who was the champion, said Hamilton. Im not looking at anything other than winning the races. Its a simple viewpoint. Nevertheless, Hamilton must know his cause would be greatly assisted if either Red Bull or Ferrari join the fight at the front to complicate Rosbergs progress.dddddddddddd As Red Bull chief Christian Horner put it: We can be Lewis best friend this weekend.Whens the Brazilian GP on Sky F1?Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff rounded on Max Verstappen two weeks ago for his rough handling of Rosberg in Mexico, arguing you could say Max should have got a penalty for banging the wheels with the championship leader in Turn One and pushing him off the track, but the prospect of either Verstappen or his Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo treating either world championship combatant with kid gloves this Sunday is remote.Just because they are fighting [for the title] doesnt mean we shouldnt try to make an overtake, said Ricciardo. I drive respectfully but I will race hard. If there is an opportunity to win I will go for it.Even in his own single-minded pursuit of victory, the potential usefulness of those sentiments are unlikely to have been lost on Hamilton.
