SAN FRANCISCO - Andrew McCutchen hit a bases-loaded single for his second walk-off of this homestand, lifting the San Francisco Giants over the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 on Tuesday night.

McCutchen lined the first pitch he got from Jorge De La Rosa (0-1) for a clean single into left-center, his 10th career game-ending hit. His previous walk-off was just last Saturday, when he hit a three-run homer to sink the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 14th inning.

Kelby Tomlinson walked to start the ninth against De La Rosa, who allowed Gorkys Hernandez's sacrifice before intentionally walking Austin Jackson to bring up Brandon Belt. Belt walked to load the bases for McCutchen.

Paul Goldschmidt hit a tying solo homer more than halfway up the bleachers in left-center with two outs in the ninth off Giants fill-in closer Hunter Strickland (1-0).

Top San Francisco prospect Tyler Beede struck out three and walked five in his major league debut. He allowed two runs and three hits in four innings in place of the injured Johnny Cueto.

McCutchen drew a bases-loaded walk for the Giants' first run in the sixth, then put San Francisco ahead in the eighth by stealing second and coming home on a wild throw by catcher Alex Avila.

San Francisco gave one right back as Arizona got back-to-back doubles by Jarrod Dyson and Ketel Marte against Josh Osich.

McCutchen forced home San Francisco's first run with a nine-pitch walk. Buster Posey followed with a tying sacrifice fly before Evan Longoria's walk loaded the bases again and chased Patrick Corbin. Hunter Pence added another sacrifice fly against Fernando Salas.

A.J. Pollock's two-run double in the first staked Corbin to an immediate cushion.

Corbin, who was trying to earn his first win at AT&T Park since Sept. 19, 2015, struck out nine to give him 29 Ks over his initial three starts. He surrendered three runs and five hits in 5? innings and walked two.

Jerry Narron managed the D-backs as skipper Torey Lovullo served a one-game suspension.

NICE NOD

As they've done for several other big league debuts, the Giants flew in the area scout who signed Beede, Midwest scouting supervisor Andrew Jefferson.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Diamondbacks: 3B Jake Lamb, on the DL with a sprained left AC joint, took swings off the tee, groundballs on his knees and threw. He will take Wednesday off before a more extensive workout likely featuring flip throws and live grounders Thursday. ... LF David Peralta had the night off with a day game Wednesday. ... Arizona traded OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, designated for assignment last Friday, to Tampa Bay for cash.

Giants: RHP Cueto went on the 10-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle. The move is retroactive to Saturday, when he injured himself during an indoor workout. With ace lefty Madison Bumgarner sidelined by a broken pinkie finger in his pitching hand, this marks the second season in a row the Giants' top two in the rotation are on the DL. Andrew Suarez is set to start the series finale today. San Francisco recalled lefty Steven Okert from Triple-A Sacramento and he was available. ... RHP Jeff Samardzija (right pectoral strain) played catch in the outfield and will soon report to Class A San Jose to get stretched out before being activated.
