"Not only the pitching, but the bat was incredible," Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said of Collmenter. "Just an overall great game and just what we needed."
Jake Peavy (0-2) gave up four runs on eight hits in just 3 2/3 frames for the Giants, who dropped their eighth straight game.
"We're in a tough rut," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "Right now, we aren't playing very well."
