The San Francisco Giants got out to an early start. After wasting a comeback effort in yesterday’s game, the Giants seemed urgent to get out ahead earlier. In the third inning, the floodgates finally opened.
Kelby Tomlinson got home on a Hunter Pence groundout, and Jae-Gyun Hwang followed up with another single to make it 2-0. After a good shut-down inning from Ty Blach, After a Nick Hundley double and a Kelby Tomlinson walk, Brandon Belt singled Hundley home. Then, Pence stepped back up to the plate.
Pence hit a liner into the gap in right-center that was quick enough to get past Mikie Mahtook and to the wall, but slow enough for Pence to get all the way to third without a slide or a competitive throw.
