MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Kontos in control: Relieving starter Chris Heston with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth inning, George Kontos preserved the Giants' 1-0 edge by retiring Matt Kemp on a foul popup and Justin Upton on a fly to deep left-center field. Dangerous as these hitters were, Kontos had navigated these waters before.
