Giants first. Tommy La Stella singles to shallow center field. Mike Yastrzemski homers to right field.
Tuesday was indeed that night. After scoring four runs or fewer in eight straight games, the Giants overcame a 4-0 first inning deficit and powered their way to a 7-6 victory over the Reds at Oracle Park. On a night when the Giants (7-4) hit three big home runs, it was a small-ball approach in the late innings that helped them take control of Tuesday’s game and even their three-game series against Cincinnati.
Manager Gabe Kapler and several of his coaches had suggested that Wade do so, and he jumped at the chance. It just meant a lot,” Wade said by phone Tuesday. I was really appreciative of Kap giving me the opportunity to go out there to do that.
