US EditionLovullo tossed during animated argument with umpires, Diamondbacks hold on to beat Giants 8-7
- The Arizona Diamondbacks edged out the San Francisco Giants with an 8-7 win on Wednesday at Oracle Park in a game marked by a dramatic incident during the eighth inning.

- The Diamondbacks secured two of three games in the series, and the obstruction call—rarely seen in MLB—may influence future rules discussions amid ongoing efforts to modernize officiating.
