Gorkys homers, draws game-winning walk

SAN FRANCISCO -- Gorkys Hernandez coaxed a bases-loaded walk from Colorado reliever Adam Ottavino to break an eighth-inning tie Tuesday night and lift the Giants to a 3-2 victory at AT&T Park.

With one out in the eighth inning and the score even at 2, Brandon Crawford singled and stole second base, prompting Ottavino to intentionally walk Joe Panik. Pinch-hitter Alen Hanson drew a two-out walk to fill the bases and bring up Hernandez, who worked the count full before earning a free pass that forced home Crawford.
