Roundup: Giants Hit Four Triples and Cruise Past the Padres

The San Francisco Giants hit four triples in a game for the first time in 55 years, including two by Brandon Belt, in a 13-8 win over the visiting San Diego Padres on Thursday.

Brandon Crawford and Matt Duffy also tripled for San Francisco, which had not tripled four times in a game since Sept. 15, 1960, when Willie Mays hit three of them and Eddie Bressoud had one at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.

The Giants had not hit three triples at home since Hack Wilson and Ross Youngs had two triples each against the Boston Braves at the Polo Grounds in New York on June 28, 1924, according to the statistics agency Stats.
