SF Giants survive bullpen blowup to avoid sweep vs. Rockies
DENVER — The postgame meal of the best player on the field here Sunday was steak and rice.
“I purposefully put myself out in front of the bag to be able to get his foot hopefully before he got to the bag,” Longoria said. Really, the credit goes to LaMonte. He put the throw right on the money.” And before the game-ending tag, Longoria made key defensive plays in each of the two preceding innings, barehanding a high and slow hopper before nabbing the speedy Garrett Hampson at first base in the ninth, and backhanding a hard-hit grounder from Brendan Rodgers in the 10th, firing a one-hop throw that just beat him to first base.
The Giants were 2-for-25 with runners in scoring position over the course of their four losses and were batting .216 in those prime scoring chances since the start of August.
