With the no-no still intact, Conleywas relieved by Jose Urena, who recorded the last out of the eighth, despite allowingDomingo Santana to reach base on a comebacker that Urenabobbled for an error.History was in reach. A bright spot in an otherwise bad day.Urena remained in the game for the ninth and struck outleadoff batter Ryan Braun. Two outs away.

Again.But still, a 6-0 win is welcome, no matter how it comes and . . .wait, not so fast, Marlins.After allowing the hit https://www.giantsedge.com/san-francisco-giants/gaylord-perry-jersey toLucroy, Urena got Chris Carter out on a diving stab and throw by third baseman Martin Prado.

They might not’ve cared at this point.).”Please, baseball,”they pleaded.”HAHAHAHAHA. Never!” baseball responded.Ramos then walked Santana to bring the winning run to the plate in the form of Jonathan Villar. At this point, things seem destined to end on Gaylord Perry Jersey a walkoff grand slam. That would have been the only proper way to end the Worst. Friday.
