Giants get big hits with runners in scoring position, two outs to beat Sandy Alcántara in their first of three games against the Marlins.
SAN FRANCISCO — Facing reigning National League Cy Young winner Sandy Alcántara, the Giants knew runs would be hard to come by Friday night.
After 21 hits over the final two games of their sweep of the Phillies, the Giants managed only five Friday night. But they were also much better with runners in scoring position against Philadelphia than they had been all season, and they continued their clutch hitting in their first of three games against Miami .
Besides a walk drawn by Blake Sabol, the Giants came up empty against Alcántara their first time through the order. They didn’t record their first hit until there were two outs in the fourth, when Conforto beat out a dribbler down the third base line. Haniger, in his second career at-bat against Alcántara, ripped a 96-mph belt-high fastball off the base of the wall in left-center field, driving home Conforto from first.
