Ramiro Pena’s game-ending play catches Bruce Bochy by surprise

Pena’s charging play at third base ended Friday’s Giants win

Pena had entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning

The win Friday was Bochy’s 799th as manager of the Giants

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy did not think Friday night’s game against the Phillies would end when it did.

The Phillies trailed 5-4 in the ninth but had the bases loaded with two outs when Tyler Goeddel hit a slow dribbler up the third-base line. Off the bat, Bochy said, he thought Goeddel had a game-tying infield hit.

"The way he swung, the hitter usually gets out of the box pretty good, two strikes we’re playing back, slow roller," Bochy said Saturday.
