Giants Games After the Stretch Have Become Must-See-TV No Matter the Score Because of Kapler’s Use of Pinch Hitters and the ‘Pen; Ruf’s First Grand Slam Ties Game in Seventh in Chavez Ravine
The Giants fell behind by five runs down in L.A. and didn’t seem the least bit worried. The defense was again the problem. This time Luis Gonzalez, our great-hitting rookie playing only his second game ever in right field at … Continue reading
