During the 3rd inning of Sunday’s Giants-Dodgers game, both KNBR and CSN chose to simulcast Vin Scully’s final broadcast. Conor Gillaspie’s incredible catch diving over the railing and into a camera highlighted Scully’s greatness one last time.

It was just a couple of months ago the Giants traded for lefty Matt Moore, leaving a Matt Duffy-sized hole in many Giants’ fans hearts. Moore’s 1-run, 8-inning gem, however, almost validates the trade by itself.

After holding the worst record in baseball for much of the second half, the Giants might be the league’s hottest team heading into the postseason.

After 67 incredible years of calling Major League Baseball games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vin Scully is retiring. The San Francisco Giants made sure to send him out in as much style as possible and KNBR 680 got in on the action, airing the Dodgers’ broadcast during the 3rd inning of the Giants-Dodgers final matchup of the season.

With the Mets clinching home field advantage for the NL Wild Card game Wednesday night, the Giants and Cardinals still have one more game to get in themselves. A win Sunday not only puts the Giants in New York Wednesday night, it allows manager Bruce Bochy to mix and match his starting pitching as he wishes.

The Giants may be about to start the biggest series of the season…but you wouldn’t know it by Bruce Bochy’s pregame demeanor.

It was a productive night at the park for Conor Gillaspie, who had the winning RBI when he hit a sac-fly in the 6th inning that scored Brandon Crawford.

It was a wild 6th inning for the San Francisco Giants, plating 3 runs after multiple errors by the Colorado Rockies. After the game, Hunter Pence pointed to the fans as a big reason for the successful inning.

Bochy: ‘That’s something that makes a season when you pull games out like that in the 9th, and that’s been missing lately.’

The Giants are the only of the three Wild Card hopefuls to close the season against a team with a winning record, with the Los Angeles Dodgers coming to town this weekend.
