PHOENIX \u2014 Landen Roupp almost received a gift. Almost.<\/p>\n

The Arizona Diamondbacks, already leading by three in the third thanks to Lourdes Gurriel Jr.\u2019s three-run homer, loaded the bases with two outs. Despite the threat, Roupp was one strike away from escaping. His 3-2 cutter to Jorge Barrosa, the No. 9 hitter, was supposed to be high and inside. It sailed into the opposite batter\u2019s box, but there, for a split second, was the gift: Barrosa started to go around.<\/p>\n

If Barrosa failed to hold up, Roupp would\u2019ve, at the minimum, gotten through three innings. Maybe he could\u2019ve even gotten through a fourth. But Barrosa held his swing and drew a bases-loaded walk. Ketel Marte followed Barrosa by driving in two on a bloop single, and Roupp\u2019s shortest start of the season was over.<\/p>\n

The Giants\u2019 8-2 loss at Chase Field on Tuesday night wasn\u2019t just their eighth straight loss to the Diamondbacks to start the season, a night where third baseman Matt Chapman exited early with an abdominal strain. The defeat also marked the 11th straight game that San Francisco has lost when Roupp has started, the longest such streak since Pat Misch in 2007-2008.<\/p>\n

As has often been the case, this team continues to make the wrong type of history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been pretty pathetic for the past two months,\u201d said Roupp, who allowed six runs over 2 2\/3 innings with six walks. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to figure it out and get back to where I was at the beginning of the season because I\u2019m not even giving the team, really, a chance to win right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t go back in time and say everything would have went exactly how the rest of the game went if we get that guy out,\u201d said manager Tony Vitello. \u201cThe way those first three innings went down \u2026 it kind of sets a tone. You\u2019ve got guys trying, but nothing was good enough tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

More pressing than the result of the game for the Giants, who match their season-low of 15 games under .500, is the status of Chapman, who aggravated his abdominal while fielding a grounder.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

With two outs in the sixth, Chapman charged the grounder hard, barehanded the ball and fired across the diamond to end the inning, grimacing in pain as he hobbled off the field. He stayed in the game and hit for himself in the top of the seventh, but could barely jog down the first-base line when he hit an inning-ending pop out. Chapman was then removed from the game.<\/p>\n

Chapman will undergo an MRI to assess the severity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor whatever reason, that was the first time that one specific play made me kind of like cringe and go down a little bit to where I was actually in a lot of pain,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n

Chapman said his left hip flexor has been bothering him since April. By compensating for the left hip flexor, Chapman\u2019s abdominal started to bother him, too. With shortstop Willy Adames dealing with a back ailment, Vitello said infielder Christian Koss will likely be added to the roster on Wednesday, the move yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Following Chapman\u2019s departure, Luis Arraez moved from second base to third base. Rookie Jonah Cox, a primary outfielder, came off the bench to play second base and made a smooth diving stop in the bottom of the eighth to rob Marte of a hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of blacked out a little bit,\u201d said Cox, who played four innings at second base in Single-A. \u201cI think it\u2019s one of those things where I\u2019m happy it\u2019s not the routine play because you don\u2019t have as much time to think on that one.\u201d<\/p>\n

San Francisco\u2019s only offense was solo homers by Arraez and Devers, their fourth and 15th homers of the season, respectively. Arraez finished a double shy of the cycle, logging a single and triple along with his home run.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was phenomenal,\u201d Vitello said of Arraez. \u201cSpeaking of determination, he\u2019s always got it. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anybody out there that you could accuse of lack of overall focus or effort, but if we could match his energy and his determination as a group, we\u2019d be in a pretty good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Roupp failing to complete three innings, starter-turned-reliever Adrian Houser saved the Giants\u2019 bullpen by tossing 5 1\/3 frames of long relief, allowing just two runs in the process. In his first two relief appearances, Houser has allowed just two runs over 7 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was outstanding,\u201d Vitello said. \u201cWe\u2019ve kind of put him a position that he\u2019s not all too familiar with, not that comfortable. Definitely not his first choice. Given that he was on three days\u2019 rest, tried to guard him a little bit. Pitch count wasn\u2019t that high because he was so good, and he was determined as all hell to go out for that last inning. \u2026 It\u2019s two times in a row he\u2019s looked really good, and has been relentless in the strike zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Up next<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trevor McDonald (2-6, 4.94 ERA) will take the mound as the Giants try to avoid being swept a third time by the Diamondbacks, who will start Zac Gallen (3-7, 6.15 ERA).<\/p>\n
