Lance Niekro was the starting pitcher and cleanup hitter, give or take, and the Giants still won in extra innings.
This is a hard recap to write because I didn’t watch the game. When I saw the lineup, I went into catatonic shock, staring absently at my computer for five hours. I woke up to a dog licking my face in the kitchen, which was made even worse by the fact that we don’t have a dog. I lost all concept of time.
Ruben Tejada leading off. Grant Green playing second and hitting second. Albert Suarez pitching.
