josh hamilton homerun in the 5th made it 4-0. but times for the giants mr. post season cody ross goes deep in the 7th. five homeruns for ross in the post season. in the 8th the giants got one run closer. andre torres goes deep. each team hits a pair of homeruns but they came up empty. feliz pitched a perfect 9th inning fanning juan uribe to win it. trailing 2-1 after this 4-2 win. this game of contrasts is two played in san francisco where the giants scored a combined 20 runs. >> we scored two homeruns so we know we are in it. but especially in this ballpark

they walked josh hamilton to get to this guy, booming double, and two runs score including hamilton.s, the rangers weren't done. they have another guy who can pound it. nelson cruise with a 2-run shot. rangers cruising at this point, 5-1. their right hander with a gem. his second win of this series gives derek jeter one of historic outs. a-rod at the plate, strike out, rangers win it. it is bust out the ginger ale time. they do that because josh hamilton has had sobriety problems and the gatorade bath and nolan ryan. looking great with that trophy. it is primetime tomorrow for the giants late afternoon right here on "ktvu channel 2 news," game 6 from philly, the yankees can watch like everyone else. operation clench begins earlier today with the giants, one job to do, bring back the pennant. jonathan sanchez will try to pitch the game of his life. never easy in philly. nothing does come easy for the giants. this year's version anyway. >> you know, these guys, they've been battle tested. we know we're playing a club that's loaded with experience. they are too. i like the way my team h

josh hamilton adds a solo homer.s been staying with the joins throughout the postseason, out on the road with them. you were in the giants clubhouse, your thoughts and reaction and how they are feeling following this 4-2 defeat, fred? >> first of all, mark. i think jonathan sanchez admits he might have pitched benji molina a little too closely. he said he threw the pitch he wanted to mooreland, but he got it, lined it for a three-run homer and took a lot of energy out of the giants locker room. there is a lot of issues going issues going on with them. we had a chance to catch up with codey in the locker room. are you learned enough about this ballpark to learn how to play it offensively and defensively? >> no, my first game here, so no. >> reporter: as a team, do you change your philosophy. it looks like power and pitching is the name of the game. >> i think we still have to stick with our approach, go up there and try to hit the ball as hard as you can. that's what i'm trying to do. that's what a lot of these guys a

that is the texas super star josh hamilton who didn't look too worried when the rangers arrived. lton is just as much of a key to the rangers' victory as cliff lee. he was the first overall pick of the 1999 draft, baa drug addiction derailed his career, and he quit baseball all together. it wasn't until 2007 when he finally made his big league debut. he game to cbs 5 and told us what made -- what made him stop taking drugs. >> i went to my grandmothers grandmothers grandmothers grandmothers and she fed me and put me to bed and i found out she went to the other room and cried. >> ever. >> reporter: she con confronted you? >> i used a couple of times and she said i was hurting her and making my family worry and hurting them. me seeing her like that, it was just kind of finally a wakeup call to me. >> reporter: hamilton would have fit perfectly on the misfit giants, the team the fans have embraced unlike any other. who else but a giants' fan would stand among the philly fans -- phillies' fans in the fateful hour? >> i a parentally -- apparently that fan made it back alive. >>> will t
