SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Conor Gillaspie celebrated his 30th birthday by delivering a big hit for the San Francisco Giants.
Gillaspie started the winning rally in the 10th inning with a pinch-hit double and Eduardo Nunez ended it with an RBI single that helped the Giants snap a three-game losing streak by beating the Cleveland Indians 2-1 on Tuesday night.
“I love to get them any time I can,” Gillaspie said. “You have to be grateful when you get hits, especially off the bench.”
Gillaspie reached when his drive to right field against Cody Allen (0-5) just eluded Brandon Guyer for a leadoff double for his first career hit on his birthday.
