Hunter Pence 's debut in San Francisco appeared to be a Giant disappointment.
Pence complete 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, Matt Cain harmonized his / her shortest start of time and the Giants displaced to the New York Mets 2-1 about Wednesday night.
"There appeared to be a large number of excitement," claimed Pence, traded in out of Philadelphia regarding outfielder Nate Schierholtz and also two insignificant leaguers per day earlier. "The fans have been wonderful out and about here. That's fairly cool. They ended up loud plus rowdy. We possessed a very ridiculous game. Unfortunately, I don't truly obtain carry out anything."
The Mets did plenty actually while almost all production by no means entered that plate.
Ruben Tejada homered for any very first time that in almost eighteen months to go together with not one but two singles and a walk, and also Jonathon Niese scattered several gets about eleven innings to be able to cause the Mets over the actual San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Wednesday night.
All San Francisco could contract away from Niese (8-5) was some sort of two-out homer simply by Buster Posey within the sixth, the particular All-Star catcher's 14th this particular season. Niese struck out all 5 and travelled not one but two to help outlast Cain (10-4) as well as pamper Pence's debut within San Francisco.
Cain quit seven hits and a few takes and under no circumstances looked in rhythm. He minted available all 5 throughout five innings to be able to coordinate their five-inning victory contrary to the Los Angeles Angels on June 18.'
Bobby Parnell frequency a fantastic ninth for his last conserve plus New York's 3 rd win inside the final some games. The NL West-leading Giants have lost six with seven.
"I could not uncover a way to dispose of early strikes," Cain said. "It ended up being a relentless struggle. It was an extended five innings for me."
Any push San Francisco possessed from trading pertaining to Pence faded fast.
Tejada, whose two-run throwing malfunction concluded in New York's 4-1 reduction resistant to the Giants on Monday night, provided the actual second toss on the adventure through Cain into the glove of any lover ranking simply further than the actual outlet throughout still left to get his or her second career residence run. Tejada had gone 629 at-bats given that his / her continue longer tennis ball throughout September 2010.
"After including a pair of years, it really is great," Tejada said. "I has been waiting to get the particular fastball. It was a terrific location for the pitch. I wasn't considering homer. I was simply seeking to create good contact."
The Mets manufactured contact frequently irrespective of whom was with the plate.
They loaded that bases in every single on the final about three innings and came aside scoreless, resolved to go 1 pertaining to tough luck having joggers throughout scoring placement along with quit thirteen athletes about base.
Josh Thole obtained on Jordany Valdespin's bases-loaded groundout to be able to third foundation to provide the Mets a 2-0 lead inside the second. Cain struck out and about David Wright, who had some hits, to be able to limit this damage.
Asked what number of works their staff should have scored, Mets supervisor Terry Collins said, "About nine. We'll take two."
The 138th consecutive sellout guests at AT&T Park - announced at 42,188 - offered Pence some as well as noisy ranking ovation while his or her name has been released together with two with and two outs from the base from the first. All the hoopla halted should the brand new perfect fielder fouled available close to first base.
Pence likewise struck available but arrived at initial using a rough outdoors try to sell inside the fourth. He grounded away in order to limited to separate the sixth and struck away searching for your second outside of the particular ninth.
The only thing this placed San Francisco close had been it's defense.
Posey threw available Ike Davis taking second once Mike Baxter struck available to end the third, as well as the catcher tossed the best ball to be able to subsequent that will catch Daniel Murphy stealing to the remaining beyond the fifth.
Gregor Blanco as well designed a diving catch inside the web of his glove in left-center about your reducing travel simply by Valdespin to separate the fourth. Cain pumped his or her fist more than one Giants continued to wait for you to high-five Blanco outside this dugout after a play eerily similar - along with perhaps equally spectacular, minus the stakes - on the heart fielder's catch that will reminded Cain's perfect sport versus Houston about June 13.
"(Pence) instructed me, 'I merely received right here understanding that was best capture I've ever previously seen,'" Blanco said.
The exclusively oversight Niese produced most of night time has been crushed by means of Posey out of this covering on the disaster ambulance parked while in the left-field canal to skinny New York's bring about 2-1 inside the sixth.
That run proved large if the Mets packed that bases throughout everyone of the final about three innings and arrived up empty.
Davis grounded proper 2 bottle enjoy to absolve the seventh. Clay Hensley began the particular eighth by way of walking the primary a pair of hitters as well as hitting another just before Thole's swinging bunt resulted in a twice play, having identified as out simply by household eating plan umpire Dale Scott pertaining to running inside the base any time Posey's toss returning to initial beaned Thole while in the back, Collins protest - contacting it a "bad rule" nevertheless this "right call" subsequently - failed.
With the particular facets full of one particular out there inside ninth, Penny caught Murphy's comebacker and tossed to be able to first intended for an quick double play, jumping plus moving his fist following providing San Francisco a shot in order to rally within the ninth.
