That magic 4th run
It took 14 innings to get it tonight. A team that doesn't get the homerun very often scored all its runs on the long ball -- Posey's 3-run bomb in the 1st, nothing for 12 innings and a Hector Sanchez homer in the 14th
As usual, the pen was stellar, per Andrew Baggarly's recap on CSN Bay Area -- Bochy had a tough choice to stick with Bumgarner over Romo, and it didn’t pan out. Romo entered after Braun’s home run and walked Aramis Ramirez before escaping the eighth. He and Jeremy Affeldt teamed up to pitch a scoreless ninth, then Affeldt dazzled in the 10th.
Clay Hensley maintained the stalemate by cutting down the lead runner on a bunt attempt while pitching a scoreless 11th inning. He and Javier Lopez combined to navigate the 12th. Santiago Casilla retired six of seven hitters to “save” his own victory.
