PHOENIX -- Arizona is known for its spas.The Giants have found one at Chase Field.A visit there always seems to shake the Giants out of whatever ails them.San Francisco clinched its 13th series victory in their last 14 series in Arizona with an 11-3 victory in the second game of the three-game set Saturday. The series concludes when Matt Moore opposes Zack Greinke on Sunday afternoon.The Giants did things the easy way Saturday.After playing one-run games in seven of their last eight -- and losing four of them -- the Giants broke out with 19 hits while scoring in double digits for the third time since the last week of June.Every Giants starter got a hit, including right-hander Johnny Cueto, who won his 15th game but got only his second victory since the All-Star break.It was good to see a breakout like that, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said.A lot of guys had good days. The heart of the order. The back end of the order. They swung the bats well, and then you look at what Johnny did. He had great stuff, great command of all his pitchers. It was good to give him a break, too. A great game for us.Throughout the lineup, somebody did something today to help the cause.The D-backs might want to pay particular attention to Hunter Pence in the series finale. Pence is one of his patented runs over the last 2 1/2 weeks, and it reached a peak in the first two games in Arizona.Pence has reached base in 10 of 11 plate appearances in the first two games of the series, with seven hits including a home run Saturday and three walks. He has scored four runs in each of the first two games of the seriesHe is hitting .382 in his last 17 games and is hitting .287 in 33 games since coming off the disabled list because of a severe hamstring strain. Pence has played only 85 games this season because of the hamstring, but it is quite a few more than the 52 he was limited to because of assorted injuries in 2015.Just trying to have good at-bats and feel good. Go out and compete to win, Pence said.Hes swinging well right now, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Pence. Hes getting on base. Missed a lot of time. You miss so much time, it takes a while to get your timing. Hes doing a good job now two-strike hitting, too.The Giants (76-65) kept pace with the Dodgers in the NL West with their victory Saturday and remain four games behind in the division race and one game ahead in the NL wild card chase. They play the Dodgers six times in the final 13 games of the regular season that ends with a three-game set at AT&T Park from Sept. 30-Oct. 2.Greinke is 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA in three starts against the Giants this season, and the loss was the first one to the Giants in his 13 starts. He was 7-0 against them entering this season. Part of his success has come in an ability to break even with Pence, who is hitting .241 against Greinke with two homers and four RBI in 32 plate appearances.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho -- Professional stuntman Eddie Braun successfully jumped over the Snake River Canyon Friday afternoon in an ode to his boyhood idol, Evel Knievel.Braun soared over the southern Idaho canyon in a custom-built rocket dubbed Evel Spirit.It launched off a steep ramp on the edge of the canyon rim just before 4 p.m. as hundreds of onlookers watched.The rocket reached an estimated 400 mph (644 kph) before its parachute deployed, allowing Braun and the ship to land safely in fields on the other side of the 1,400 foot-wide (427 meters-wide) canyon.I feel like the no name third string quarterback of a junior varsity team that just won the Super Bowl. My team got me there. I ran it into the end zone. We scored and won, Braun said in a statement after the jump.Scott Truax, the designer of the rocket, told the Idaho Statesman that after Braun got the OK to launch he didnt hesitate.He was gone in a cloud of steam and I couldnt see anything until just before he pulled his chutes, Traux said.Braun has said the rocket was identical to the model Knievel used for his failed canyon attempt on Sept. 8, 1974. Knievel landed at the bottom of the canyon when his parachute prematurely deployed partway across the canyon, but walked away with only minor injuries. The spot where Knievel jumped was 1,600 feet (488 meters) wide.Braun hoped his effort would prove that Knievel could have made it across the canyon if his parachute had deployed at the correct time.Before the jump, the 54-year-old Braun said he was optimistic he would make it across the canyon.I wouldnt be doing this if I thought it couldnt be done, he said.Still, he had prepared for the worst in the days beefore the stunt, asking his young son to one day walk his sisters down the aisle at their wedding if Braun died in his attempt.ddddddddddddonths of testing was performed on the rocket designed by Scott Truax, whose father constructed the original X2 Skycycle for Knievel.Truax followed his fathers blueprints down to the last bolt and deviated only by updating the parachute system.Braun had trouble finding corporate sponsors for the stunt, and said he spent about $1.5 million of his own money on the jump.He looked at the stunt as a way to pay homage to Knievel, who inspired him to become a stuntman.I like to say Im not doing something that Evel Knievel couldnt do, he told the Statesman before making the jump. Im simply finishing out his dream. How many people get to finish the dream of their hero?Not all in the southern Idaho town of Twin Falls have such fond memories of Knievel. Many residents remember Knievels promise of a weeklong festival complete with celebrities and a golf tournament.Knievels attempt drew plenty of spectators, and the resultant partying, fighting and mischief upset locals. The daredevil was later accused of leaving town without paying debts to area businesses.But the mystique of Knievels failed stunt has lived on, with would-be daredevils showing up every decade or so to propose similar jumps. Knievels son Robbie visited Twin Falls in the 1990s and in 2010 to float the idea of a possible jump, though it never came to fruition.Braun appears to have been the first to actually try the stunt since Knievels attempt.
