Nelson Velázquez tied the game at 1 in the seventh with a sacrifice fly that scored Isaac Paredes.

Taylor Trammell then smacked his first triple of the year off the brick wall in right field before Allen sent him home with the go-ahead run off Keaton Winn (2-3).

Giants starter Adrian Houser worked six scoreless innings, fanning five and allowing two hits.

Victor Bericoto gave the Giants a 1-0 lead with an RBI single in the first inning. San Francisco finished with four hits.

Giants shortstop Willy Adames left the game in the seventh inning after aggravating a back ailment while turning a double play.
