PHOENIX (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit his seventh career grand slam, Gabriel Moreno added a two-run homer, and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Francisco Giants 12-2 on Monday night.

Zac Gallen (2-4) had his second quality start and the ninth overall for the Diamondbacks May 5. He threw six innings and struck out five while allowing four hits and two runs.

The first four batters reached for Arizona, capped off by Arenado's 403-foot grand slam to left field. They added two more runs in the second, one in the third, and five in the fifth.

Moreno hit a 398-foot homer as the second batter of the inning, and Waldschmidt and Ketel Marte each drove in another run. Marte scored on an error, ending the scoring for the inning.

Robbie Ray (3-6) took the loss for the Giants, allowing 11 hits and 10 runs, nine earned, in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out one and walked two.

Willy Adames had a 388-foot solo homer in the second inning, and Luiz Arraez hit a sacrifice fly in the third.

Giants RHP Landen Roupp (5-4, 3.49 ERA) faces Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (1-3, 5.40) in the second game of the series. ___
