Andrew Cashner was hardly the only Marlins pitcher who couldn’t get Brandon Crawford out.
Out of other options in the bullpen, Miami turned to Friday’s scheduled starter with the game on the line. It just doesn’t make sense. “My role is to pitch”.
Pence and Brandon Belt became the first pair of Giants to strike out four times in a game since June 4, 1997, when Glenallen Hill and Bill Mueller did it in a game started by the Dodgers Ramon Martinez. Gordon didn t start to run until he saw Johnny Cueto s pitch skip in the dirt. “The history of the Giants with all of the great players that have come through, you would think that somebody pushed across seven hits in one day, but it’s pretty insane to be in pretty small company”.
“You know, I heard this Miami hospital had a special pill for offense”, Bochy said in his pregame briefing with reporters. “We didn’t figure it out today”. He and Crawford will get to meet prior to Wednesday s game and take a photo together – a couple of seven-hit wonders, separated by four decades. “I don’t want to bother him”.
Johnny Burnett holds the major league mark for an extra-inning game with nine hits for Cleveland in a 1932 contest that lasted 18 innings.
There stood Crawford, who just completed a remarkable feat, yet all the attention went to TV replays of Buster Posey’s 11th-inning face plant into third base.
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is out of the hospital in Miami and is set to return to the dugout for Tuesday’s game against the Marlins.
“Bochy picked a heck of a day to take off”.
He assumed it would happen sooner or later: He d wake up one day to the news that finally, for the first time since his magical day at Wrigley Field in 1975, a major league player would collect seven hits in a game.
“I don’t care how long the game is”, Crawford said. He’s a tough out right now and obviously, when you’re getting seven hits, you’re feeling pretty good about yourself.
Ozuna followed Stanton with a groundout scoring Martin Prado.
That day, I remember my first at-bat I hit a double in between (first baseman) Andre Thornton and the bag. He was a home run short of the cycle but fittingly drove in the game-winning run in the top of the 14th with a single to center field.
The Marlins took a 5-1 lead into the seventh behind a solid outing from Jose Fernandez, who allowed one run and six hits in six innings.
Brian Ellington relieved Nick Wittgren and immediately threw a wild pitch that gave the Giants a 6-5 advantage. I d probably be more stressed if I weren t here. “That’s all I can ask for”. He was to be monitored overnight and is expected back on the bench Tuesday night. Teammate Joc Pederson added two hits and three RBIs. After the second out, Mattingly intentionally walked two batters to get to the pitcher’s spot in the order.
The Giants left 18 on base and ran through every position player and reliever except for Javier Lopez.
The Marlins responded with three consecutive hits off Will Smith to begin the bottom of the seventh, including a two-run single by Yelich for a 7-6 lead. He also had an inning-ending fly out to left against Brian Ellington in the eighth, leaving two runners on base.
“We bounced back”, Mattingly said. “They bounced back and from there it was insane after that”.
In St. Louis, Yadier Molina started and ended a five-run rally in the ninth as the Cardinals stunned Cincinnati.
MIAMI (AP) – Ichiro Suzuki has donated to the Hall of Fame some of the gear he wore when he collected his 3,000th career hit, including his jersey, a pair of cleats, his arm guard and batting gloves. Suzuki tipped his helmet in appreciation before grounding out in his only at-bat.

Asked if it is the best four-game stretch in his career, Koehler said, “Hopefully it can end up being the best 12-game stretch”.
