SAN FRANCISCO – Buster Posey has done it before.
He’s had months when he couldn’t make a soft out. He’s had series when he never missed a chance to drive in a run. He has hoisted the Giants and carried them on his back.
It’s hard enough to lift a franchise when you’re padding a first place lead or playing into October. It might be even harder when you’re coming to the sudden realization that you are staring at a long season with little on the line. Nothing feels heavier than dead weight.
But the Giants cast Posey in position to win or lose a game Sunday afternoon, and he carried them to a 13-8 victory over the Minnesota Twins at AT&T Park.
