Cole strikes out 9 as Pirates beat Giants 4-3 (The Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Out of nowhere came the fan, a large man in an old-school Barry Bonds Pirates jersey entering Gregory Polanco's space at the right-field wall.

The fan and the outfielder both reached, and neither came up with the ball. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle requested a replay review and, after 2 minutes, 17 seconds, Polanco was credited with the putout in the eighth inning of a 4-3 victory against the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

''He hit me all over,'' Polanco said, gesturing to his hand and the left side of his face.
