PHOENIX -- After missing more than half the season, Angel Pagan gave the San Francisco Giants a much-needed spark Friday night. Pagan opened the game with a double, went to third on a bunt and raced home when Brandon Belt hit a sacrifice fly in a 1-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was Pagans first game back from the disabled list after a left hamstring injury sidelined him for 82 games. "All that work we put in, all these weeks, it paid off," Pagan said. "Ive been waiting for this moment for so long. Im so happy to be back with the guys and help them any way I can." Tim Lincecum pitched six spotless innings and third baseman Pablo Sandoval saved San Francisco with a diving play behind the bag. Three relievers closed it out for the Giants, who handed Randall Delgado a hard-luck loss and won for the 10th time in their last 12 games at Chase Field. Pagans injury came after he galloped around the bases for a game-ending, inside-the-park homer in May. He was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list before Fridays game. "Good to have him back," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was a lift for the club. Although we got shut down with the bats, we did something we havent done a lot of and thats get an early run." Arizona loaded the bases against Lincecum in the sixth, and A.J. Pollock hit a sharp grounder past third. Sandoval had it played just right, though. He backhanded the ball as he hit the ground, got to his feet and threw to first for the third out. "That was a huge play. I got the contact I wanted out of that," Lincecum said. "It was just a well-placed ball and Pablo managed to be there and made a great, great play." Lincecum (8-13) allowed six hits and two walks while striking out two. Javier Lopez pitched the seventh, Santiago Casilla worked the eighth and Sergio Romo got three outs for his 33rd save. Romo has a 20-inning scoreless streak at Chase Field, and his 23 consecutive scoreless appearances there mark the longest such streak for any visiting pitcher at any ballpark dating to 1921, according to STATS. Delgado (4-5) gave up only three hits over seven innings. "He threw like Randall can throw. Great control, had them off balance and his location was pretty (darn) good," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "He certainly pitched good enough to win. Youve got to win them." The Diamondbacks loaded the bases on two hits and a walk in the sixth, the only inning in which Lincecum got in trouble. But he struck out Miguel Montero for the second out before Sandovals defensive gem. "With what was on the line, bases loaded, that gets down the line and youre looking at a crooked number," Bochy said. "Thats what defence can do for you. It can win ballgames, and thats whats gotten away from us at times." The second-place Diamondbacks fell 10 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. "Panda made a good play on Pollock," Gibson said. "If you want to win those games you have to have better at-bats. Thats all there is to it."

The Suns played more desperately than Minnesota on Sunday and inched closer to the Western Conferences final playoff spot. They also delivered a serious blow to the Timberwolves fading post-season hopes. Markieff Morris scored 25 points as the Suns overcame a 22-point deficit and a near triple-double by Kevin Love to beat the Wolves 127-120 and move within a half game of eighth-place Memphis. "Weve had a few of those, havent we?" Hornacek said. "Im always proud of the way they come back at the end of games, they never give up. We were playing horribly for a half, maybe partway into the third quarter and somehow they ended up pulling that game out." While Hornacek lamented his teams tendencies to start slow, the Suns were fortunate the Wolves — who fell six games behind Phoenix — have a habit of starting strong before fading. Now the Suns are hoping the Wolves psyche can recover in time to put up big points again when they play at Memphis on Monday. Phoenix, meanwhile, continues its road trip in Atlanta. "If we want to be contenders and be in the playoffs, we got to start showing it by winning these kind of games," P.J. Tucker said. "We came out and played in the second half." Phoenixs bench outscored Minnesotas 61-20, and the Suns shot a season-high 57 per cent from the floor to overcome Loves 36 points and 14 rebounds. The Wolves All-Star forward fell an assist short of a triple double and committed a crucial turnover in the final minute. With the game tied at 118, Love lost the ball in the paint and Eric Bledsoe made a fast-break layup. Gerald Green, Bledsoe and Tucker each hit a pair of free throws in the closing seconds. "If we start out the ggame like that wed probably be up 20," Bledsoe said.dddddddddddd The Suns tied a season high by allowing 41 points in the first quarter and trailed 103-93 heading in the final period, but they outscored the Wolves 34-17 in the fourth. Minnesota, meanwhile, blew its largest lead of the season. "That was our playoffs right there, and we lost. So this one hurts a lot more than the others," a visibly frustrated Love said. The Wolves scored a season-high 73 first-half points — they needed every one of them because the Suns shot 61 per cent and still found themselves trailing by 11 at halftime. Minnesota built its early lead thanks to a 14-0 first-quarter run fueled by a balanced offence. Every Wolves player who checked in scored. But Morris shot Phoenix back into the game with 15 points in the second quarter on 6 for 8 shooting. "We shouldve won that game, plain and simple," Love said. Phoenix has won five of its last six. Bledsoe had 21 points for the Suns, Tucker had 19 and Goran Dragic 18. The Suns won for only the fifth time when trailing after three quarters. "Im so tired of doing that," Tucker said. "We get 20-25 down and its like, lets play. Its unreal." Notes: Kevin Martin had 25 points for the Wolves. .
