Eleven

The Giants prevailed in a see-saw battle and held on to their one-game advantage in the West. The Dodgers won in extras in Colorado. The Padres inch closer to elimination as they are now five back of the surging Cardinals. The NL's early-season darlings are in a desperate fight for the final post-season spot and we all know that cornered critters are the most dangerous. Manny Machado smacked two homers and almost had a third as the linuep battered Kevin Gausman with nine hits and four runs in four frames. The Giants kept their cool despite down 4-1 and with two in the 5th and two more in the 6th looked poised for a comeback win.
