The post 7th Heaven: Brandon Crawford meets Rennie Stennett appeared first on Giants Extra. “And I didn’t think it was a strike”.
We talked about the game he had a little bit and how he ll never forget it, said Crawford after posing for pictures and signing autographs with Stennett s family.
“I feel good just being remembered”, he said.
Hammel (12-5) struck out six, walked two and helped himself at the plate when he singled and scored in the fifth against Ricky Nolasco (4-9) to make it 2-0.
Fernando Rodney, filling in for the injured A.J. Ramos, pitched the ninth to record his 19th save in 21 opportunities.
And since I can’t seem to embed tweets or video right now, if you want to see video of them shaking hands, here’s a link to it. “That’s a joke; that guy is so strong”. The bat’s not supposed to go 110 feet and the ball 370.
Ozuna followed Stanton with a groundout scoring Martin Prado.
The 26-year-old powerhouse looks to continue to come up with the clutch hit on Wednesday afternoon as the host Marlins play the rubber match of their three-game series with the Giants. Mattingly pinch hitting Chris Johnson for Derek Dietrich was the move that sparked this, as Samardzija’s pitch count was only at 82, a mark he has eclipsed in all but one start this season (64 pitches on 6/22, 6 ER over 3 IP in PIT). He struck out seven and walked five.
By the end of the sixth inning, Barry Bonds had had enough.
They took two of three from the Marlins to end a challenging, 4-5 road trip down the Eastern Seaboard in which Hunter Pence received a black eye, Buster Posey scraped up his face and Bochy had a heart scare that sent him to the hospital.
“He had a great series”, manager Bruce Bochy said.
Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija and the San Francisco bullpen held Miami to five hits Wednesday.
Marlins: Stanton left in the eighth inning with soreness in his right hip area after making a sliding catch in Monday’s game.
Also, J.T. Realmuto, who was given the day off, has an 11-game hitting streak. Stennett s claim to fame over a decade-long career with the Pirates and Giants was the September 16, 1975, game in which he went 7 for 7 during Pittsburgh s 22-0 rout over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Span struggled to an 0-for-4 line with a strikeout on Tuesday. On the positive side of things, Phelps cruised nicely through four innings of work, allowing only the solo home run to Crawford on four hits and one walk, while striking out five.
