Hunter Pence delivers unto thee: his first Giants dinger

So it was a great day up in Giants Town. Today, there were most of the things that Giants fans like to see:
  1. Brandon Belt went 4/4 with a pair of doubles, and one walk
  2. Buster Posey, was Buster Posey. He continued to improve upon his formidable slash-line of what is now 332/406/547.
  3. Hunter Pence was the hero of the game with a three run dinger. A further note might e that two of his outs (one of which being a disappointing double play) were line drives. As players go, Hunter Pence is above average. If last year's performance is to be believed, he's far above average. The Giants have been hoping that he'll get it going. We can hope for the best, which means forgetting all about the last eleven games for Hunter.
  4. Sergio Romo continued to be The Man. His strike out per nine is all sorts of crazy, and by that I mean 10.1 before tonight's game, in which he struck out the side for the save.

So, what we have here is another series win and a head of steam headed into the Nationals series. Tomorrow I'll go over the series match-ups, which portend all sorts of pitching shenanigans that will hopefully be void of Brad Penny in any capacity other than Bench Breaker-Inner
