Pablo Sandoval breaks out pink bat, leads Giants to Mother’s Day win

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have reached the quarter pole and the club is nowhere close to hitting its stride.

There’s frustration, there’s disappointment, and even confusion, but there are also moments the team can celebrate.

A come-from-behind Mother’s Day victory over the Reds qualified as one of those moments. Thanks to a go-ahead single from Kevin Pillar to drive in Pablo Sandoval in the bottom of the eighth, the Giants secured a 6-5 win to salvage the finale of a three-game set with the Cincinnati Reds.

The Giants notched a pair of come-from-behind victories in Cincinnati last weekend and overcame three separate deficits against the Reds to win Sunday’s game.
