Notes & reviews

pbp account ends here, rest deduced
Giants had Kavanagh in rundown, but he eluded them, scoring as Fletcher chased him to the plate, then threw wildly since no one was covering, the catcher having gone to 3rd
Play started as double steal and runner from 3rd scored while runner from 1st was out to end inning
