Pence: first home run as a Giant.

I have to admit that I wasn't too thrilled when I heard that the Giant's had acquired Hunter Pence.

I remembered him from his time with the Phillies, particularly the series that the Giants played against the Phillies back in June, and I wasn't too impressed with his stats, even though he did have 17 home runs.

Before yesterday, Pence was hitting .149 (7-47) with no home runs and eight RBI's.

Yesterday, however, with the game tied 6-6, Pence came with up with two on and two out: and he blasted the ball out to center field extending the Giants lead to 9-6.

Romo closed the top of the 9th, and the Giants went on to win the game.

The Giants are still in 1st place; 1 game ahead of the L.A. Dodgers.

**Fun fact: Pence's home run, was the first home run hit by any Giant (other than Posey) in AT&T Park since late June.**
