Juan Uribe keeps coming up with some of the biggest hits for the San Francisco Giants.

Darren Ford arrived from Double-A in the second inning following a delayed flight and missed connection. Then, he got thrown right into a tie game and a pennant race in his major league debut.

The San Francisco Giants have had so much trouble beating the San Diego Padres that it took a heady play and a fortunate bounce to pull out an extra-inning win.

All Pat Burrell wanted to do was get the ball in the air. He succeeded.

Mets outfielder Jason Bay had put his head down and took a few steps in thinking the game was over. It wasn't, and he took advantage of the extra chance.

Tim Lincecum outpitched Roy Oswalt in a matchup of National League aces, and the San Francisco Giants managed just enough offense for a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
