Randal Grichuk added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth, blasting a two-run homer deep to right field for a 7-1 lead. The ball cleared the fence, but bounced back into the field of play, going down as an inside-the-park homer, as it was not reviewed.

Ryne Nelson retired the first 16 batters he faced, Randal Grichuk homered and the host Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-1 on Saturday.

Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson tied a season high with 6 2/3 innings vs. the Giants in his most recent start, with no walks and seven strikeouts.
