Giants go extras to win 11-8 after Diamondbacks rally
By JACK THOMPSONAugust 3, 2021 GMT
PHOENIX (AP) Buster Posey didn’t have the best night at the plate, yet the Giants’ All-Star catcher impressed manager Gabe Kapler with his tenaciousness and his baserunning.
Posey doubled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning for San Francisco, then hustled to third on a fly ball to set up a bigger inning as the Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-8 on Monday night.
Before the 10th inning at-bat, Posey, who entered the game batting .329, had managed a bases-loaded walk, but had been hitless. He lined Miguel Aguilar’s pitch to deep left field to score Brandon Crawford, who began the 10th at second base. Posey, not known for his speed, tagged up and made it to third on Alex Dickerson’s fly to center.
