SF Giants Win Marathon Game in 14th Inning

What a big win for the San Francisco Giants Monday night in Miami! The Giants won in the 14th inning after Brandon Crawford collected his 7th hit of the game. That's not a typo. Crawford had seven hits tying a major league baseball record shared by just a handful of players.

Buster Posey starts a big double play in the 8th inning with the score tied. I just love watching Posey throw to second. His throws getting runners trying to steal and in this case starting a double play are strong and accurate. Watch MLB video of Buster starting the double play by clicking HERE.

This was a big road win for the Giants. It's no secret they have struggled since the all-star break, especially offensively. This blogger has contended they need another bat in the lineup, most likely in the form of another outfielder. There have been too many games where the offense struggles to score more than one run. Fans including myself understand the team is trying to stay in contention through August and then use some of the minor league players in September and race to the finish line. This couch manager thinks they need to do something sooner.

The Giants bullpen gets heat when a save is blown. George Kontos deserves a big high-five. George pitched two scoreless innings, gets the save and the win!!! Awesome!!! Way to go George! Watch George close out the game courtesty of MLB by clicking HERE.

The Marlins and Giants are back at it with a 4:10 PST game on Tuesday. Matt Moore will make his first start as a Giant. He goes against Tom Koheler.

Go Matt! Go Giants!!!
