Giants nearly gain a sweep.

Now 73 games into the season, the San Francisco Giants are in second place. Three games behind the first place Dodgers.

This weekend, the Giants played the Oakland A's, and they took 2 out of 3....but they almost swept them.

On Friday night the Giants were trailing 3-1 until the top of the 9th inning. Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval both walked to start off the inning, then Brandon Belt came up and doubled.
In the end the Giants scored 4 runs and went on to win it 5-4. (Josh Reddick of the Oakland A's came up in the bottom of 9th inning and hit a solo homerun)

On Saterday, the Giants were trailing until the late innings, yet they still managed to scrape together a win, the final being 9-8.

Sunday, however, was a different story.
In the first inning, Buster Posey hit a 2 run homerun.
In the bottom of the first inning, Josh Riddick sinlgled home a run.
And that was all both teams would get....until the ninth inning. In the bottom of the ninth inning, with runners on 1st and 2nd, and two outs Santiago Casilla gave up a walk-off 3 run homerun to end the game.

The Giants won the series, but lost the sweep.

Tonight, the Giants play the Dodgers.
It just might be one of the most important series' of the season.

Go Giants!!!! :)
