Last Night's Game
With LA falling behind quick up there on the scoreboard, it was imperative that Jake Peavy keep a lid on it and that somebody step up early. That "somebody" was Buster Posey, with a fourth-inning homer that put the Jakester out in front. After the 'Snakes' tied it in the sixth, the Giants answered back immediately with a little small-ball: singles by Hunter Pence and Travis Ishikawa (Pence taking third), and a sacrifice fly from Brandon Crawford. Critically, Peavy then shut down Arizona quickly in the seventh, and after he got into a two-on two-out  jam in the eighth, he was bailed out by Sergio Romo, who got the dangerous Mike Trumbo to end the threat. Romo then yielded to Santiago Casilla, who pitched a quiet ninth for his 16th save.
