ST. LOUIS -- Players gathered around the middle of clubhouse at 5:10 p.m. Tuesday, some lounging on leather chairs and others standing around a mounted TV. They watched as Bruce Bochy joined his old friend, Tim Flannery, on an MLB Network show and gave an update on a team that had just lost another star.
While talking about the loss of Hunter Pence, Bochy pointed out that his group is good at focusing forward and moving on after injuries and tough losses. A couple hours later, his players proved him right.
Ryan Vogelsong gritted his teeth and led the charge and the lineup did just enough against Lance Lynn and the Cardinals as the Giants won 2-0 at rainy Busch Stadium.
