Comments: Irish Heritage Night, with Rory McIlroy throwing out the first pitch. For the Giants, tonight's game was a power surge, with pitcher Madison Bumgarner and 1B Brandon Belt hitting homers, only the seventh and eighth SF homers at AT&T this year. Also broke an amazing 16-game homerless streak. Bumgarner was the uber-star of the game, also striking out 12 with no walks. He's now 13-2 with a 1.99 ERA in his last fifteen home starts. Awesome.
Bullpen: Kinda weird, as Romo took the ball with two outs in the eighth, then Hensley, Lopez and Casilla -- Hensley was in there for a few moments, but it was two pitches, four pitches and two pitches for the other three; guess they'll be available tomorrow.
Offense: Besides the homers, Brandon Crawford and Melky Cabrera, back in the lineup after a series off, had two hits each. One of those cool runs in the seventh for this edition of the Giants, as Gregor Blanco walked, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error, then scored on a Melky single. He up and R-U-N-N-O-F-T. Speed kills, absolute speed kills absolutely.
D: Another error (11) for Crawford; Panda was better. That's 57 errors, tied for worst in the majors.
