Yes, the San Francisco Giants (21-26) gave us something to smile about if not but for a night. Down 3-2 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth on a 3-2 pitch, Joe Panik hit a two-run single to bring in runners from second and third base; game over!
The ninth inning rally saw the Giants execute some nifty base and bat work with two stolen bases and three base hits, one by Kevin Pillar that scored Brandon Crawford. In all the Giants scored three runs in the inning to send the visiting Atlanta Braves (26-23) back to their hotel with a loss.
In a season that has Giants fans grasping for any signs of light at the end of the tunnel, tonight's win was like seeing a spark flicker in the darkness. We'll take it. So keep trekking along Giants, there's hope just up ahead.
