SAN FRANCISCO — Evan Longoria will receive the credit he deserves in Tuesday’s box score for hammering a go-ahead, two-run double into the left field corner.
Third base coach Ron Wotus’s name never shows up on the stat sheet, but his performance in the Giants’ 6-5 win over the Padres was nearly as important as Longoria’s.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, pinch hitter Brandon Belt had no trouble scoring the tying run from third on Longoria’s line drive off reliever Trey Wingenter that sailed to the side of Padres left fielder Wil Myers.
