Night moves

Giants 2, A's 1

Victor Bericoto knew what he had done.

The pitch was a hanging slider’s favorite hanging slider.

The swing was an all-or-nothing rip through the strike zone.

The bat toss was almost as big of a show as the 445-foot blast to win the game.

Some guys wait their whole career for a walk-off home run. (Brandon Belt never hit one.) Bericoto needed only 22 at-bats.

Not bad for his first start in two weeks.

Up next: The Giants go for a sweep of the A’s with Landen Roupp (5-7, 4.15 ERA) up against Jeffrey Springs (3-7, 5.55 ERA). First pitch at 12:45 pm.
