Giants win 5-2.  Stanford's Slater got on base five times, going 2-2 with three walks, his 8th stolen base and an HR.  Joey Bart, 2 doubles, Belt a pinch hit double and almost hit a very long home run.  Dickerson HR.  Smyly pitched great.  Defense was terrific.  Daniel Robertson, normally a shortstop, was in left field.  Hampson hit a ball headed for the corner, Robertson cut it off, threw a rope to 2B, threw out the speedy Hampson.  Giants now 27-27, tied with Milwaukee.  Coonrod got the save with two strikeouts, and about 1/2 dozen 100 mph pitches.

Every game is "must win" it seems, but a lot of contributors tonight.

Robertson's throw from LF to gun down Pillar (who also had a very good game for the Rockies) at second for first out of inning was key play of the game.  

Belt's almost homer would have been a salami!

Dickerson with a very nice PH(?) dinger.

Smyly pitched pretty well.  The only move I didn't like real time was taking out the lefty who had 0.00 ERA with a runner on 1B and 2 outs, in favor of the righty submarine guy.  Pillar smoked a double down the LF line and tied the game at 2.  Other than that, Kapler's decisions looked all good.

Slater has 8 steals in 9 attempts . . . nice!
