SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Pinch-hitter Patrick Bailey singled home the winning run
with one out in the ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants overcame a

career-best 20-inning scoreless streak.
With the score 2-2, Heliot Ramos singled off Jacob Webb (2-1) starting the
ninth, LaMonte Wade Jr. walked and Christian Koss sacrificed. The
switch-hitting Bailey batted for Sam Huff, left-hander Jacob Lentz relieved and
Bailey, who entered with a .159 average, slapped a first-pitch changeup into to
the opposite field in short right as Ramos trotted home.
Ryan Walker (1-1) escaped a two-on, no-outs jam in the ninth. Kyle Higashioka
popped up a bunt attempt caught by Huff, the catcher, in foul territory and
then Walker struck out Josh Smith and pinch-hitter Joc Pederson.
Robbie Ray struck out eight in seven innings, allowing five hits and retiring
14 of his final 15 batters.
Jake Burger hit a sacrifice flies in the first and third innings for Texas,
which has lost five of eight.
