07/25/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Ishikawa knocked in the winning run in the 10th inning to lift San Francisco over Arizona, 3-2, to complete a four-game sweep.
Sergio Romo (3-3) hurled a scoreless ninth for the win and Brian Wilson did the same in the 10th to earn his 29th save.
Buster Posey continued his hot streak by going 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles and drove in a run to extend his hitting streak to 18 games. Aubrey Huff also drove in a run for the Giants, who have won eight of 10 overall.
Esmerling Vasquez (1-3) took the loss after allowing the game-deciding hit for the Diamondbacks, who got a two-run double from starter Barry Enright in the setback.
Arizona's defeat was overshadowed by a deal the club made with the Angels during the contest. Workhorse starter Dan Haren was shipped to the Halos in exchange for starter Joe Saunders, reliever Rafael Rodriguez, prospect hurler Patrick Corbin and a player to be named later.
Posey began the 10th against Vasquez with a double, and moved up on a groundout. Nate Schierholtz was intentionally walked but was caught stealing second ahead of Ishikawa's game-deciding single to right field.
Wilson turned aside the D-Backs in order in the bottom half to wrap up the game.
Posey's double drove in Huff with two down in the first, but Enright's double put the home team ahead in the home half. Gerardo Parra and Augie Ojeda both scored after hitting back-to-back two-out singles.
Edgar Renteria laced a one-out double in the San Francisco fifth and came in when Huff followed with a base hit.
Giants starter Tim Lincecum could have snapped the tie in the eighth, but he struck out swinging with runners on second and third.
Arizona then failed to push across a winning run in the ninth against Romo despite having runners on the corners with one down.

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.
"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."
Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
