<p>PHOENIX (AP) — Robbie Ray threw his first complete game since 2017, Rafael Devers had three RBIs and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2 on Thursday night.</p>
<p>The teams split the four-game series, with the Giants winning the final two.</p>
<p>Ray (9-3) retired the first 12 batters before Eugenio Suarez led off the fifth inning with his 27th homer of the season to cut San Francisco's lead to 4-1. The veteran left-hander needed 102 pitches to navigate his nine innings, giving up three hits, including two solo homers, walking one and striking out seven.</p>
<p>Ray pitched for the D-backs from 2015 to 2020 before being traded to Toronto. He won the AL Cy Young with the Blue Jays in 2021.</p>
<p>The Giants led almost the entire night, taking a 2-0 lead in the first after Heliot Ramos hit a run-scoring double and Jung Hoo Lee added a sacrifice fly. Mike Yastrzemski and Willy Adames both had three hits. Ramos and Andrew Knizner added two hits.</p>
<p>Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt (8-6) gave up four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. The right-hander struck out eight.</p>
<p>Ketel Marte added a solo homer in the ninth for his 19th homer of the season.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Third baseman Brett Wisely made a phenomenal defensive play to start the seventh, diving toward the line for a grounder before jumping to his feet and throwing out the speedy Blaze Alexander at first.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Ray's complete game was just the second of his career. It was the 19th in MLB this season and the first for the Giants.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>The Giants travel to Sacramento for a three-game series starting Friday. San Franciso will start RHP Justin Verlander (0-5, 4.26 ERA) against Athletics LHP JP Sears (6-7, 5.09).</p>
<p>The D-backs have a three-game series at home starting Friday, sending LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4, 5.13) to the mound. The Kansas City Royals will counter with LHP Kris Bubic (6-6, 2.25).</p>
