Robbie Ray dominated the Diamondbacks on Thursday, tossing his second career complete game while leading the San Francisco Giants to a 7-2 victory over Arizona in Phoenix.

The left-hander retired the first 12 batters he faced, gave up only three hits and a walk and struck out seven. Ray (9-3) needed just 102 pitches to go the distance. Beating his old team gave Ray his first win since June 5 and helped the Giants salvage a split in the four-game series.

San Francisco’s Willy Adames scored three runs and doubled twice as part of a 3-for-4 night with a walk and an RBI. Helios Ramos went 2-for-5 and drove in two runs. Mike Yastrzemski finished 3-for-5 with a run as the Giants won for their second straight after losing seven of their previous eight.

Rafael Devers plated three over the final three innings, the most RBIs he has had in a game since coming to the Giants from the Boston Red Sox on June 15.

Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt (8-6) gave up four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. His eight strikeouts set a season high, but two tough innings led to the loss.

Eugenio Suarez and Ketel Marte homered for the Diamondbacks, who have lost six of their last eight games.

The Giants pounced on Pfaadt in the first inning thanks to walks by Adames and Devers. Adames scored on Ramos’ double, with Devers coming home on Jung Hoo Lee’s sacrifice fly to deep center.

Pfaadt needed 26 pitches to escape the opening frame. Meanwhile, Ray used only 27 over the first three.

San Francisco’s top of the order put another two up in the third. Yastrzemski singled to lead off the inning, then scored from first when Adames doubled off the wall in center. An out later, Adames came home on Ramos’ single.

The Diamondbacks finally got to Ray when Suarez homered to left leading off the fifth. That hit did not faze Ray, who got the next three batters out on just six pitches.

He threw just 78 pitches through eight innings before giving up Marte’s homer in the ninth and a walk to Geraldo Perdomo.
