The Giants won their fifth straight game Friday night and staved off playoff contention elimination for another night.
Friday night's three-bagger came in the second inning and ended with Pederson sliding safely across the plate after an error. Pederson left the batter's box thinking he had flied out to right, but the ball skipped off the bricks and back toward center field, where second baseman Josh Rojas alertly chased it down. His throw to the infield got past shortstop Geraldo Perdomo and Pederson ran through a stop sign, scoring as the crowd roared.
Longoria put on a show for his family, hitting a three-run homer in the first inning and then adding a two-run blast to center in the second. Longoria's season-high for RBI was four; he passed that in the first two innings.
