http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-randy-johnson-jersey , yet still brings in clutch runs.Aguilar hit a two-run double in the bottom of
the seventh inning to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-2 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Friday night.Aguilar sent a low, 0-1 pitch from Tony Watson
into the gap in right-center field to score Curtis Granderson and Eric Thames.
Hunter Strickland (3-5) started the seventh and walked the pinch-hitters. Watson
took over one out later.“In that situation, I was just trying to be aggressive
in the strike zone,” Aguilar said. “The reports say he throws a lot of change
ups, and I was waiting for that pitch.”Aguilar’s heroics helped the Brewers push
their wild-card lead to 1½ games over the St. Louis Cardinals, who lost 5-3 to
the Detroit Tigers.Brewers manager Craig Counsell couldn’t have been happier
with his slugging first baseman.“He did a nice job with what looked like a
pretty good change up down and away from him,” Counsell said. “Went with it,
beautiful swing.”Josh Hader (5-1) worked two innings of scoreless relief and
picked up the win. Joakim Soria pitched a perfect eighth, and Jeremy Jeffress
handled the ninth, earning his ninth save.Giants starter Derek Holland worked
out of a two-out, bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning. He caught Hernan Perez
looking at a called third strike. Holland matched his season high with eight
strikeouts for the fourth time this season. He walked five and allowed just two
hits in six innings. Both hits came in the first: Lorenzo Cain had a base hit
and
Andy Pettitte Jersey , two outs later, Ryan Braun hit his 15th home run.Alen Hanson tied it for the Giants, leading off the fifth with his eighth
home run of the season.Brewers starter Chase Anderson leads the National League
with 29 home runs allowed. He scattered five hits in five innings, walked one
and struck out five.Anderson was in trouble in the fourth. He allowed
consecutive singles to Evan Longoria and Brandon Belt, and the runners advanced
on a wild pitch. Longoria scored on Chris Shaw’s grounder to first.TRAINER’S
ROOMGiants: INF Brandon Crawford was available to pinch hit, but not much more.
He returned to the lineup Monday against the Colorado Rockies after missing the
previous three games with a sore left knee. He played Tuesday, but then sat out
Wednesday’s game. Thursday was an off day. Manager Bruce Bochy listed him as
day-to-day.Brewers: C Manny Piña was back behind the plate after missing the
three-game series with the Chicago Cubs. … RF Christian Yelich returned to the
starting lineup after a scheduled day off Wednesday against the Cubs. He had a
pinch-hit single in the ninth inning of the Brewers’ 6-4 loss to Chicago.TOUGH
STRETCHThe Giants have lost seven of their last eight games, including a
season-high tying six straight losses, and fell a season-high six games under
.500.BOCHY, HUNDLEY EJECTEDGiants catcher Nick Hundley and manager Bruce Bochy
were ejected in the ninth by home plate umpire Adam Hamari after arguing about
the strike zone. Hundley had just been called out and had words with Hamari
before being thrown out of the game. Bochy came out and added his own comments
before getting tossed.“That was probably one of the worst strike calls I’ve had
on me in my career,” Hundley said. “Probably the most inconsistent strike zones
that I’ve seen all year.”It reached the boiling point for both.“Yeah
