Giants finish with N.L.’s highest batting average, first time since 1993

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants took a two-run first-inning lead in their season finale Sunday in a manner that befit their season. Angel Pagan lined a soft single to left field. Kelby Tomlinson singled sharply to left. Matt Duffy shot a line drive over the head of Rockies first baseman Wilin Rosario to score Pagan. Buster Posey chopped a single up the middle to drive in Tomlinson.

This year’s Giants team will not be remembered as an offensive juggernaut. But after closing their season with a 7-3 loss to Colorado on Sunday, they could lay claim to one piece of hitting distinction.
