Suarez's homer came off Birdsong with two men on in the third.

It was Suarezs 13th HR of the season the third baseman had a four-homer game against Atlanta on April 26.

On Wednesday, every member of Arizonas starting lineup had a hit except No.

9 batter Jose Herrera, who walked twice.

Ryan Thompson (1-0) got the win in relief as Arizona had 12 strikeouts and the Diamondbacks took two of the three games in the series.

The Giants Heliot Ramos had three RBIs, including a sacrifice fly in the second and a two-run double in the fourth.

Jung Hoo Lee hit a two-run homer in the seventh, his second in two games.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo was ejected after an obstruction call on rookie shortstop Jordan Lawlar in the bottom of the eighth inning.

After he was ejected, Lovullo became animated and made hand motions "ejecting" all four umpires on the field.

The call in question saw Giants rookie second baseman Christian Koss run into Lawlar's back after rounding second.

It was ruled Type 2 obstruction, as the contact between the two rookies happened away from where the ball was thrown.

Koss, who was originally called out on the play, was allowed to return to second base after the play and the D-backs got out of the inning without surrendering another run.

Bench coach Jeff Bannister managed the remainder of the game and Shelby Miller held on to get the save for the D-backs after walking in a run in the bottom of the ninth.

The Giants trailed 8-6 in the ninth before scoring once and then had the bases loaded with two outs before Shelby Miller got Christian Koss on a short fly out to center to end the game.

Miller picked up his third save.

The Giants were 8-0 in home day games this season before losing Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks and RHP Corbin Burnes (2-1, 2.95 ERA) will open a three-game series against Colorado (starter TBA) in Phoenix on Friday night.

Also on Friday, the Giants and RHP Logan Webb (4-3, 2.60) will host the Athletics (starter TBA) in the opener of a three-game set.
