San Francisco ? With the score tied in the eighth inning and a left-hander on the mound, Mark Grace was expecting a call back from the dugout. It never came.

Instead, Grace hit a tiebreaking two-run double Tuesday to lead Randy Johnson and the Arizona Diamondbacks over the San Francisco Giants, 5-3, Tuesday at Pac Bell Park.

San Francisco's Barry Bonds, left, hits a run-scoring double off Arizona starter Randy Johnson during the fourth inning. Despite Bonds' double and solo home run, the Diamondbacks defeated the Giants, 5-3, Tuesday in San Francisco and moved into first place in the National League West by half a game.

Barry Bonds hit a solo homer and an RBI double for the Giants, who dropped two games back of the first-place Diamondbacks in the NL West. The Dodgers fell a half-game back of Arizona with a 9-2 loss to St. Louis.

Johnson (13-3) allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings. The lanky left-hander, who had gone 0-1 in his previous three starts, struck out seven, to move within eight of teammate Curt Schilling, who leads the major leagues with 191.

Former teammate Reggie Sanders hit a game-tying homer off Johnson in the seventh inning.

“Obviously you don’t want to give up home runs,” Johnson said. “But at least they didn’t manufacture runs. It would have been worse if they had started stringing runs together.”

Byung-Hyun Kim got the final two outs for his 26th save.

Russ Ortiz allowed three runs, seven hits and five walks in seven innings.
