Villar homers twice in loss

The Giants lost their 70th game to some familiar nemeses--Clayton Kershaw, Justin Turner, and Max Muncy--but managed to find a silver lining to the series. Rookie David Villar was 6-for-9 in the three games scoring eight runs and driving in five. He hit a homer in Monday's win and hit two more yesterday. Villar's first blast was a two-run shot off Kershaw in the 5th to open the scoring. After Turner's three-run homer gave LA the lead in the bottom half, Villar tied the game in the 7th off Justin Bruihl. It gave us hope and we started to dream of a win but those notions were cruelly dashed by Max Muncy's three-run homer in the 8th.
