Chris Gimenez aided the San Francisco cause with a bases-clearing double in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the catcher was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Gimenez told the San Francisco Citizen.
