Giants beat Diamondbacks 4-1 to win first road series

Johnny Cueto pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Alex Dickerson homered and had two RBIs, and the San Francisco Giants won their first road series by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 on Sunday. Cueto was sharp in his last start before the trade deadline, allowing a run on three hits in 6 2/3 innings. ''I like to invent during the game,'' Cueto said through a translator.
