Johnny Giovatella stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth, and you just had the feeling that the irrepressibly improbable imp is still srpinkling magic pixie dust over his inaugural season in the place of the outstanding Howie Kendrick. And there you have it. With Erick Aybar standing on first after having forced pinch runner Taylor Featherstone out at second base, Mike Sciscia called for the hit and run and Aybar/Giovatella executed perfectly. Johnny G. drove a line shot to the right field corner with just enough depth to bring Aybar all the way around to score the winning run.
Johnny G paves over Street's potholes, Halos win 2nd straight walk-off 4-3!!
