Peavy had a standup game pitching for seven and two thirds innings, four strikeouts, five hits, an earned run and a walk in ninety five pitches, calming the worried nerves of Bruce Bochey no doubt on the production for his starting pitchers after a few games that seemed to go astray.
In the Panda Watch he went two for four hitting, also after almost stretching for an incredible play to stop the games only run on the next batter made a great effort to start a double play.
Buster Posey started of the scoring with a solo shot in the top of the fourth his twenty first home run of the season.
Arizona tied it up after a triple in the bottom of the sixth and an insuing RBI single where if Panda was just a bit taller would've made an incredible play to stop the run. The following double play ended the sixth without more damage on the scoreboard.
A lead off single by Hunter Pence started the seventh, then an Ishikawa single brought a hustling Pence to third, and a Brandon Crawford sac fly brought in Pence to regain the lead.
Buster Posey hit two of four with a home run, his average is .312 for the season, Brandon Crawford hit two of three with an RBI. Casilla picked up the save his sixteenth of the season.
Though the Giant's bats may of cooled a bit they are still getting the job done, looking like they will hold on to the wild card berth as well as having home field in the wild card game, though nothing is set in stone. The Giants sit three games back from the Dodgers who lost last night to the Rockies, with a little luck San Francisco could still steal the division though it seems doubtful with only eleven games left to play.
