With one out in the 9th and the Giants trailing 1-0 Mike Yastrzemski launched a homer bid that fell just short in left-center for the second out. Thairo Estrada, Sunday's walk-off hero, blasted his own homer bid, only to watch it fall agonizingly short. His, though, turned out to be a triple off the bricks in right. That meant Brandon Crawford would get a shot and he delivered a long fly that cleared the center field fence for the game-winner. What a finish!
The Giants banged out a handful of extra-base hits but could not score against Merrill Kelly. Fortunately Jakob Junis pitched beautifully as well, going a full seven innings and allowing only a solo shot. It looked like another tough loss but a miraculous bottom of the 9th snatched a win from the jaws of defeat. Good relief work from Alex Young (8th) and John Brebbia (9th) backed up Junis' great effort.
Carlos Rodón gets the ball tonight at 6:45 and will try to push the win streak to six.
Go Giants!
