NEW YORK — Bruce Bochy stood at the doorstep of history, needing just one win to become the second manager in Giants history to record 1,000 victories with the franchise.
With help from some loud knocks by the Giants lineup in a six-run 10th inning, Bochy turned the knob and walked into an exclusive club after securing a 9-3 win over the Mets on Tuesday at Citi Field.
Bochy, 64, joined John McGraw (2,583 wins) as the only other manager to win 1,000 games with the Giants after catcher Stephen Vogt sparked a six-run rally with a go-ahead two-run double off reliever Robert Gsellman.
