It took a lot of work to set it up for Mike Yastrzemski to get the game-winning hit but the Giants managed and eked out a victory against the Mets to split the series. Yaz hit a double to right-center in the 8th that scored Joc Pederson from first base and broke a 4-4 tie. Brandon Nimmo cut the ball off in the gap and made a good throw to the relay man but Joc showed some nimble feet and scored easily. I don't think he hustled around the bags that briskly last season. Perhaps the threat of outfield play got him to trim down.
