Pence rewards stellar Cueto with walk-off win
Hunter Pence lifts a walk-off double to shallow right field in the 9th that Matt Kemp can't track down, giving the Giants a 1-0 winCueto, who has allowed one run in three complete-game victories over San Diego this year, retired 23 of the first 24 hitters he faced, lapsing only when Kemp drilled a two-out, fourth-inning single. The Padres put runners on the corners with two outs in the eighth inning when Cueto hit Alexei Ramirez with a pitch and yielded Amarista's single. Cueto escaped further trouble by slipping a 91 mph fastball over the inside corner past Yangervis Solarte for a called third strike.
