Hector Sanchez was Buster Posey’s backup for a number of years with the San Francisco Giants, but the emergence of Andrew Susac made Sanchez expendable.

With Susac on the disabled list with a sprained right thumb, Sanchez was recalled from Triple A Sacramento to replace the injured Susac.

Sanchez responded by hitting a grand slam in helping the Giants defeat the San Diego Padres 9-3 at Petco Park.

After the Sanchez grand slam where he flipped his bat that upset the Padres. Sanchez grounded out in the top of the ninth inning, reliever Shawn Kelley began to yell at Sanchez and both benches cleared along with the bullpens. The umpires restored order before it escalated even worse.

Chris Heston flirted with his second no-hitter of the season, but Melvin Upton broke it up leading off the bottom of the sixth inning.

Heston ended up pitching 7.1, walking two and striking out six on his way to his 10th win of the season.

Hunter Pence led off the top of the second inning with his fifth home run of the season. Brandon Crawford hit a three-run home run in the top of the fourth inning.

Odrisamer Despaigne gave up six runs and seven hits in five innings, walking two and striking out two and fell to 3-7 on the season.
