The Giants went to extras on Friday night and won when Braves reliever Pierce Johnson uncorked a wild pitch and Tyler Fitzgerald scooted home. The Giants won this afternoon when Pierce Johnson uncorked a gopher ball to Matt Chapman who parked it over the fence with Heliot Ramos aboard.
On Friday, Hayden Birdsong ran out of gas after being staked to 3-0 lead in the 1st. Ryan Walker gave up the tying runs in the 7th but the rest of the bullpen held firm. The Braves, it seems, are even worse than the Giants at scoring an automatic runner.
