PHOENIX -- Wade Miley was headed toward a disastrous evening when he allowed four runs in the first inning to the Giants on Tuesday night.But the left-hander was dominant in the six innings that followed and his offense rallied as the D-backs came from behind for a 5-4 win at Chase Field for their first victory in four games this season.Miley (1-1) picked up the win and there was no way the 18,974 in attendance could have seen that coming six batters into the game.The Giants first run came when Buster Posey singled home Angel Pagan. One out later, Brandon Belt gave the Giants a 4-0 lead when he smacked a hanging breaking ball into the pool area in right-center for a three-run homer. 
And that was all Miley would allow until departing following the seventh. After the homer, he retired 15 straight before walking Posey in the sixth.Meanwhile, the offense chipped away at Giants starter Matt Cain.The D-backs cut the lead to 4-2 in the bottom of the first when Paul Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 23 games with an RBI double and came around to score when Martin Prado followed with a single to center.In the fourth, the D-backs capitalized on a poor use of replay challenges by San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy to pull to within 4-3.In that inning, Bochy used his replay challenge with one out and A.J. Pollock on first. Cain tried to pick Pollock off and first-base umpire Chris Guccione called Pollock safe. The call was upheld, meaning there was not enough evidence to overturn the call.Gerardo Parra followed with a double to right to move Pollock to third. Posey then appeared to be crossed up by a Cain pitch and the ball scooted away from him. Pollock tried to score and it appeared that Cain tagged his foot before it hit home plate.But home plate umpire Eric Cooper called Pollock safe, and because Bochy was out of challenges he could not ask for a review.Pollock and Parra were in the middle of another rally in the sixth with Pollock driving in a run with a double and Parra scoring Pollock with a sacrifice fly to give Arizona a 5-4 lead.Addison Reed worked around a one-out double in the ninth for his first save with the D-backs.Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
