SAN FRANCISCO -- Hector Sanchez never had a game-ending hit in his professional career. Bobb... Orr Jersey . Hed never faced a five-man infield, either. What a way for both trends to end. The pinch-hitting Sanchez lined a one-out single over the crowded infield with the bases loaded in the 11th inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday to take the three-game series. The hit came after Milwaukee rallied from its last strike in the ninth. "Theres no getting around it. That wouldve been a tough one to lose," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was vital, I thought, that we win that one before we hit the road." The final rally didnt take long. Buster Poster singled off sidearm submariner Tim Dillard (0-1) leading off the final inning and pinch-runner Emmanuel Burriss moved to second on Angel Pagans sacrifice bunt. Dillard walked Brandon Belt intentionally and Ryan Theriot drew a walk to load the bases. Left fielder Ryan Braun moved into the infield before Sanchez sent a full-count pitch off Dillard down the left-field line where nobody wouldve reached it under a traditional configuration anyway. "I was just trying to get the ball over the infield," said Sanchez, San Franciscos backup catcher. "I feel happy for the whole team. We needed that." Indeed. Travis Ishikawas RBI double handed San Franciscos Santiago Casilla his first blown save in the ninth. The Giants had lost three straight by one run and dropped the opener to the Brewers 6-4 before winning both on the weekend. Lefty specialist Javier Lopez (3-0) recorded one out for the win. Clay Hensley also pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings after Milwaukee chased Casilla. "Its not easy, but this games not supposed to be easy. Life isnt easy," said Braun, who was 1 for 4 with a walk. "We have no choice but to continue to move forward." San Franciscos banged-up bullpen finally caved before its bats -- for a change -- brought the club back. Corey Hart reached on a fielding error by third baseman Ryan Theriot to lead off the ninth. Then Casilla rallied to strike out Jonathan Lucroy and popped up Taylor Green. With Milwaukee down to its last strike, former Giants pinch-hit specialist Ishikawa doubled on the ninth pitch against Casilla to score Hart and force extra innings. The comeback handed Casilla his first blown save in six chances this season in place of injured closer Brian Wilson. Defence extended the game even further. Nyjer Morgan made a leaping grab on the warning track to rob Melky Cabrera of extra bases to end the 10th inning. Morgan, born in San Francisco, pointed back at fans in the bleachers and taunted the crowd running back to the dugout. Cabrera caught Lucroys liner in the web of his glove in left and easily doubled up Hart at first base in the 11th inning, setting the stage for Sanchezs walkoff. Giants players scurried out of the dugout and mobbed Sanchez as he rounded first, and the water-cannons in right popped off in what has become a familiar scene in San Francisco the last few years. About the only damper on the ending for the Giants was it ruined another gem for Matt Cain. Cain struck out 10 and scattered six hits in seven innings. Aramis Ramirezs bloop single in the first and sacrifice fly in the sixth were the only runs Milwaukee managed off Cain. Conor Gillaspie lined an RBI double and Pagan beat out a double play at first to drive in another run for the Giants in the first inning off Shaun Marcum. Pagan also doubled leading off the fourth to roll his hitting streak to 20 -- the longest active in the majors -- and scored on Theriots one-out single that put San Francisco ahead 3-1. Marcum allowed three runs on five hits in six innings for a no decision. He hasnt won since his first start April 9 at the Chicago Cubs. Cain, long San Franciscos hard-luck loser because of a lack of run support, again protected the cushion -- large by his usual standards -- after getting into a jam in the seventh. With runners on first and second and one out, Cain struck out George Kottaras swinging and fooled Morgan with a curveball that frustrated the eccentric centre fielder so much he immediately flipped his bat. San Francisco ended its homestand 4-5 and plays at the rival Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. "It was a little bit of a bitter taste in our mouths after Fridays loss," Cain said. "We needed these last two to get back on track." NOTES: The Brewers officially placed OF Carlos Gomez (strained left hamstring) and SS Alex Gonzalez (right knee) on the 15-day disabled list, calling up INFs Taylor Green and Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Nashville. Gonzalez is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday in Milwaukee. ... Fans serenaded Hall of Famer Willie Mays with "Happy Birthday" in the middle of the second inning.

Granderson hit three home runs in the first four innings and matched a career high with five hits, leading the New York Yankees to a 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night. Granderson homered in each of his first three at-bats, driving in four runs, and helped Phil Hughes overcome a four-run first inning to secure his first victory of the season. "I enjoyed it," Yankees special adviser Reggie Jackson said. "I think the nicest part was that he had two more chances to hit four. I was making sure I was watching the TV." Granderson hardly considered that he would have a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game when he was putting in extra cage work with hitting coach Kevin Long to try and find a decent rhythm at the plate. But there he was, with many in the crowd standing and cheering in the sixth, when he lined a single to right field. In the eighth, he beat out a dribbler down the first base line with fans urging him to beat the play with screams. He was then caught stealing. "A lot of work went into today before we actually stepped onto the field. Had some big issues with timing," said Granderson, who came in hitting .208 with three homers. Mark Teixeira hit his first home run of the year and the Yankees earned a split of the four-game series. The Twins have not won a series in New York since 2001, a year before Ron Gardenhire took over as manager. Granderson homered to right-centre in the first inning and hit a soaring, two-run shot into the second deck in right field in the second, both off Anthony Swarzak (0-3). In the fourth, Granderson hit a line drive to the short right-field porch against Jeff Gray and came out of the dugout for a curtain call. Granderson is first player to hit three homers in a big league game this year. Hes also the first player to hit three at new Yankee Stadium. "What he did today is a special day," manager Joe Girardi said. "He should cherish it." Granderson became the 12th major leaguer to hit three home runs in the first four innings of a game, according to STATS LLC and the SABR Home Run Log. Alfonso Soriano was the last to do it for the Chicago Cubs on June 8, 2007, against Atlanta. The three-homer game was the first for a Yankees player since Alex Rodriguez hit three at Kansas City on Aug. 14, 2010. Granderson has 12 career multihomer games. Thhis was his first with more than two home runs. Fred Brazil Jersey. "The kid can hit," Gardenhire said. "You get it down there in that zone for him, he can turn on a baseball. Thats a nice porch out there for left-handed hitters and he took full advantage of it." The Yankees have had 28 three-homer games in the regular season and three in the post-season -- Jackson hit three in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series -- but only one of four homers, by Lou Gehrig in 1932. Mariano Rivera, the fifth Yankees pitcher, worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the season and record 606th of his career. For the third time in this series, the Yankees fell behind in the first. Ryan Doumit hit a two-run single to left that beat the shift. The Twins had loaded the bases on a single, a throwing error by second baseman Eduardo Nunez and a walk. Danny Valencia then hit a long double to left-centre on an 0-2 pitch to make it 4-0. Teixeira also homered in the first, a two-run shot to almost the same spot near the Yankees bullpen in right-centre that Grandersons drive landed. A notoriously slow starter, Teixeira homered in his 46th at-bat this season. Derek Jeter had an RBI single in the second for his 3,110th hit, tying him with childhood idol Dave Winfield for 18th on the career list. Fighting to keep his spot in the rotation with Andy Pettitte and Michael Pineda getting closer to being ready to join the team, Hughes (1-2) gave up six runs and six hits -- two earned -- in 5 1-3 innings. "It was far from a good outing, but there are some positives I can take out of it," Hughes said. Swarzak had pitched better than his record suggested, receiving only one run of support in each of his first two starts, but he struggled from the start in this one. He gave up six runs and eight hits in 2 2-3 innings. Twins shortstop Jamey Carroll made a diving stab of Jeters grounder in the first and an over-the-shoulder, diving catch on Robinson Canos pop to shallow left field in the second. Doumit hit a two-run homer off Hughes in the sixth to cut the lead to 7-6. "In this park, its fun to hit," Doumit said. NOTES: Yankees starters have a 5.59 ERA.
