SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Eduardo Escobar's late RBI single meant a little more Thursday after an emotional cross-country trip.
Earlier in the day, the Arizona third baseman had been in Miami for meetings with immigration officials as two of his boys received their green cards. Diamondbacks owners provided their private plane to get him there after Wednesday's game in Phoenix, then flew Escobar to the Bay Area in time to play in a series-opening 5-1 win over the Giants.
"I'm really happy. It was special for my kids, they're the most important in my life," Escobar said.
