Bailey, who grounded into a double play and struck out in two of his previous at-bats, then smashed a 1-0 fastball from Jordan Roman (1-4) into right-center field.
Ryan Walker (2-3) retired one batter, with two on in the top of the ninth, to get the win.
Phillies All-Star Kyle Schwarber had two hits, including his team-leading 28th home run.
Schwarber flew out, struck out and was hit by a pitch before homering off Giants reliever Spencer Bivens into McCovey Cove. Brandon Marsh, who singled as a pinch hitter leading off the inning, scored on the play.
Two days after being named an All-Star for the second time in his career, Ray allowed four hits and one run in 5 2/3 innings.
Key moment
The Giants scored their run on Dominic Smith’s check-swing single in the second. The next batter, Bailey, grounded into an inning-ending double play.
