Giants Win Finale and Take Series From the Mets

By Jeff Hall

With two out in the top of the ninth Pablo Sandoval broke up a 3-3 tie driving in Gregor Blanco with a ground rule double off of Jenrry Mejia for what turned out to be the game winner in the Giants 4-3 win over the Mets at Citi Field.  Santiago Casilla shut down the Mets in the bottom of the ninth retiring the side in order to record his ninth save of the season. Sergio Romo who came into the game in the eighth picked up his fifth win.

Tim Hudson, who started the game for the Giants, surrendered a two run homer to Daniel Murphy to quickly put the Giants behind. Sandoval tied the game in the third with another two out double off Met’s starter Dillon Gee.

The Mets regained the lead in the fifth scoring an unearned run after a Buster Posey throwing error which allowed the Mets to score on a David Wright infield single.

The Giants tied the game 3-3  in the seventh when Hunter Pence scored on a wild pitch after Pence led the inning off with a triple.

Up next;  the Giants head to Milwaukee to face the Brewers tomorrow night. It will be Tim Lincecum facing Jimmy Nelson of the Brewers.
