SAN FRANCISCO -- In his first game back from the injured list, Joc Pederson provided an instant boost for the San Francisco Giants.
The two-time All-Star hit an RBI single in the first inning and scored the tiebreaking run from first base on Mike Yastrzemski's one-out double in the eighth, sending San Francisco to a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.
"Against a good team like the Mets, you win a couple of games in a row to finish the series, it certainly gives you a chance to ride that momentum into the next series," Giants manager Gabe Kapler said.
