Late-inning LaMonte lifts Giants

It was indeed a homer by LaMonte Wade, Jr. in the 7th that gave the Giants the lead and final winning margin. But a couple of plays by rookie catching prodigy Patrick Bailey certainly helped. He nailed would-be base-stealer Jace Peterson who had singled to open the 8th, helping out rookie reliever Ryan Walker. In the 9th, with two outs, he picked off Geraldo Perdomo with a classic "snap throw to first" to end the game. Bailey is clearly a special player.

Alex Cobb gave up three solo homers in is six innings. In the bottom of the 6th the Giants tied it against Zac Gallen on a Luis Matos double and a Brandon Crawford homer.
