Game 72: Giants 7 Pirates 6

9

In summary, the Pirates had a 6-1 lead, blew it, and then lost when they sent John Jaso on a full-count pitch that Gregory Polanco struck out on, despite Jaso barely beating out the double play throw on a slow roller to short that Jordy Mercer nearly beat into second base.

If you can’t win this game, I dunno what baseball games you can win.
