Evan Longoria is fond of hitting at Chase Field, and the San Francisco third baseman will look for more success when the Giants visit the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of a two-game set in Phoenix on Wednesday.
Longoria smacked his seventh career homer in 21 games at the ballpark as the Giants rolled to an 8-0 victory on Tuesday in the opener of the series.
Longoria went 3-for-4 with four RBIs on a three-run blast and a run-scoring double to help San Francisco snap a three-game slide and send Arizona to its ninth straight loss and 12th in 13 games.

PHOENIX D-backs general manager Mike Hazen sees the way the National League West is unfolding. Right now, his team is at the bottom of the division, while the Padres, Dodgers and Giants show no signs of slowing down at the top.
According to Hazen, June 1 is typically a date when the team takes a step back and evaluates the first two months of the season. Nearing that marker, Arizona is 18-31 after Tuesday’s 8-0 loss to San Francisco at Chase Field. And while the Trade Deadline is still a little more than two months away, it’s not too early to start thinking about the D-backs’ long-term future, especially given their recent struggles.
