brandon belt takes it to the back. chase utley is gone. >> mike: i don't know if you could ever be friends with a guy you worked with for 23 years. i don't know if that would be possible. >> john: well, there was a time last year when we thought it might be possible that we could find out. the reports were the giants were trying to acquire chase utley. but the other reports said that he didn't want to come here so ended up being acquired by the dodgers instead. maybe that was it. maybe it was the lopez thing. i can't be teammates with that guy. >> mike: yeah, there is no way, i'm 1 for 22 against him. >> john: crawford right there. grip on the wet baseball and throws out to corey seager, two

down. 2-2 in the tenth inning, the right-hander coming up. santiago casilla, he is going to bring him into the game. and it looks like as part of a double switch here. buster posey will also enter the game. facing brandon belt at first base. new pitcher coming in. 2-2. we'll be right back.

just a quick note on trevor brown, he also had a bit of experience last year with him. he singled off of him, so maybe that helped him tonight. >> john: a little background on trevor brown's head to head against hatcher, and ross stripling who departed with a no-hitter and then trevor brown got the first for the giants, a home run to tie it up. justin turner against santiago casilla, 1 and 1. >> mike: opens up with a nice little cutter in the corner. to see a rare closer he can give you five different pitches and throw them at you any time. they're all quality. two times the fastball. curveball, cutter, change-up. posey comes into first base with

a double switch. >> john: buster will be due up fourth. strike two call, low strike on the outside. turner can't believe it. comes right back in. outside corner. trevor brown. definitely a pitcher's strike. turner has got no choice now. he has to expand his own. >> john: adrian gonzales on deck, duffy hugging the line deep at third. >> mike: now casilla thought -- that was about an inch wider than the last of those called a strike. you got to have guts to take a pitch like that.

after watching the second strike get called against you. >> mike: 2 and 2 the count. >> john: that is in the right field base hit. turner stayed alive on that last close one and then got himself a hit and now the red-hot adrian gonzales will come up. casilla may be fuming a little bit now thinking he had turner struck out to end the inning. the pitch fx by the way, showed the pitch that was in dispute maybe an inch, inch and a half further away than the previous one that had been called a strike which according to pitch fx, right on the very black. adrian gonzales, 1 for 4. he has had only one hit in ten

career at bats. with three strikeouts against casilla. joe blanton, the veteran right-hander, is also up out there. dodgers have nine hits, the giants have one. turner, back to the bag. wet night. been raining for what? maybe the last three innings. ? >> not real hard but steady. it is enough rain to mess with you a little bit. especially if you have a batting helmet on, it makes a noise on your helmet. you can hear it. casilla, behind the count 2 and 0. >> mike: he is very respectful right now but now he has himself in a hole.

do not walk, want to walk a hitter and put a runner in scoring pose. should be in the strike zone. >> john: yasiel puig is on deck, a right-handed hitter and a good one. the high hard one. and he blew it by him. >> mike: gonzales was thinking the same thing. down the shaft on that swing. giants two, dodgers two, turner, the runner at first, posey on the bag with him.

turner back to the bag with a dive. >> mike: it's not likely that turner is going to try and steal. but if you let h walk into a lead and he will take off. smart player. casilla, you have to make him stop before he comes home. >> john: now, it is 3 and 1 for gonzales. turner had five steals last year, six the year before with the dodgers. and maybe all of those were in situations just as you described. crawford, the shortstop almost

right up the middle for adrian gonzales. tense moment here. crawford has to go back to his right. launch over the wet baseball. he got it there. nicely done. under difficult conditions. it's wet and getting wetter. crawford, pagan, brown and buster posey, posey would be due up four last of the ten. good evening, i'm raj mathai. we're going to get you back to the game in just a moment, but first a look at some of our headlines. ==raj/live== the rain is here. from the good evening, we'll get you back to the game in just a moment. first a look at headlines, as john miller just said the rain is here from across the ballpark and here. this is a live look in palo alto, we're off to a wet start this weekend. meteorologist rob mayeda has more. and they have seen up to a third of an inch of rain, you see it there in dublin, where

areas in downtown have picked up a fourth of an inch. as the game continues notice how the more moderate and slightly heavy rain is approaching at&t park something we have to watch if the game goes on for a few more minutes or a couple of hours. you can see how the rain is approaching. we'll see moderate to briefly heavy rain at times as we head into tomorrow morning. coming up after giant's baseball, we'll let you know if the rain or snow is part of the forecast. also, president obama in the bay area attending two fundraisers in san francisco, along with his daughter, makely. his second event, a dinner at the home of ann and gordon getty. he will take off tomorrow morning out of sfo. let's send you back to baseball now, with john miller and mike krukow from at&t park. >> john: there is joe blanton,

veteran right-hander, back in the big leagues with the dodgers out of the bull pen as we go to the last half of the tenth inning in a 2-2 tie. >> mike: veteran right-hander, doing everything in the game. most of his career he has been a starter. one thing joe blanton has always been able to do is paint. last year, 79 strikeouts, 76 innings, he has got a fastball, sitting right around 90. he will sink it, cut it, wouldn't see any mistakes out of the plate. he will throw anything any time. >> john: charlie culberson comes in with blanton, part of the double switch. so blanton will hit in the spot where turner had been in the order. brandon crawford leads off with the giants, 0 for 3 in the game.

pagan on deck. hit well to left field. back, good-bye! and good night! brandon crawford has ended it. an opposite field home run. an electrifying moment to end a long night. the giants on two hits! beat l.a. in ten, 3-2. in this ballpark, the veteran pitchers will make you go away. but the pitch was up, right at the belt. and crawford who has excellent

power for the opposite field. just stayed right on the bottom half, back spin right into the bleachers, and sends everybody home happy. his second homer of the year. and what a night for giants fans. the second game of the week the giants have won in a low-scoring pitcher's battle. they beat milwaukee 2-1 on tuesday, now 3-2 tonight, a night to get only two hits, their only hits, two long balls. otherwise, they may never have scored at all. and you pointed it out a few innings ago that the ball seemed to be carrying extremely well tonight. and it certainly seemed to on that one.

>> mike: it's just such an improbable thing still even with the carry we saw in this ballpark to see a ball go out the opposite field especially to end it and go over the wall. >> john: all right go downstairs to amy g. >> all right, well, crawford little up fireworks, but trevor brown got it going, he recorded the first hit of the game. well, heads up. hey! that was really -- good look for you and that was really nice. it was just bubble gum. trevor, these are things that you dream about in your back yard when you're a little boy. you hit your first major league home run. you break up a for-hitter, it's against your biggest rivalry. what can you share about what is going on in your mind right now? >> honestly, this is the coolest moment in the game. he was going against us, it was such a battle.

to come from behind, too, like you said it was a whole lot of firsts for me right there and honestly it was such a cool experience and to come in the dugout and just feel everybody behind you is really cool. >> you have to props to stripling right now. in his debut he was fabulous. they bring in hatcher, a questionable move but certainly a break. doing the numbers quickly. you had one at-bat against hatcher last year, and you draw on that experience. what did you think going outñr there? >> honestly, he was pitch ago really good game, he had had our number. honestly i had not gotten anywhere close to hitting a ball against him. it a sigh of relief. i just kind of went up there, i was just trying to be short to it. i didn't have very many good swinging early on.

i was just trying to be lucky, i'm not a big power guy. >> matt cain, a good job in his debut. it doesn't get anymore exciting than that. the team's reaction. >> like you said. that was such a cool experience going out there. i have only been a part of maybe three in my life. up here against the dodgers, it was such an experience. >> it was storybook, congratulations on your first major league home run. >> congratulations to trevor brown and also to brandon crawford. and what a night it was, another one of those epic giants and dodgers night, yet another happy ending and electrifying moment a couple of times, a couple of electrifying moments at the end, 3-2 giants, in ten innings. we'll have more from at&t park. stay with us. the giants on brandon crawford's

they come back, score 12 runs, and the same thing happened today. they had a no-hitter going against them. down 2-0, it was trevor brown who had never hit a home run in his career before steps up against chris archer, the man in relief against ross stripling and does this chris hatcher doesn't give up a whole lot of home runs. hatcher puts the ball on the ground. the fact he throws a mistake down for and burns him on it. and it just adds to the story, really an unlikely story. two great comeback wins for the giants. >> indeed, hatcher inherits the no-hitter, first batter he faces, he gives buster posey a

night off, amy g did a little digging for us, they had faced each other last september. so he had a little bit of knowledge. brandon crawford. you said it. the ball was carrying very well tonight. brandon crawford, we're not used to seeing those kind of balls going out. not here, but it went out game over. >> you're just not used to seeing joe blanton make mistakes out. he always knows that knee-high command is important late in the ball game. pound the knees away if you're going to have a guy take you deep. he made a mistake up. and crawford made them pay the ultimate price. >> the dodgers bull pen gives up for the second day in a row a lead and the giants beat l.a. for more on tonight's game tune into sportsnet central on csn bay area, right after our broadcast. tune in at 12:30 for giant's pre-game live. bumgarner and kershaw, we'll see you next friday here on nbc bay
