Exciting game. Again, heroics by McCutchen, set-up by Strickland teeing up a 95 MPH fastball to Paul Goldschmidt, which he wasted, in the top of the ninth.

Andrew McCutchen gets walk-off hit vs. D-backs:
By Chris Haft MLB.com @sfgiantsbeat 3:39 AM ET
SAN FRANCISCO -- Andrew McCutchen got that feeling again shortly before the Giants edged the D-backs, 5-4. That winning feeling.
He watched the Giants' half of the ninth inning against Arizona unfold Tuesday night, with the score tied, teammates reaching base and his spot in the batting order coming closer and closer. McCutchen's mind flashed on last Saturday, when San Francisco's 14th-inning rally against the Dodgers culminated in his three-run walk-off homer.
"I was in the dugout, and there was one walk, another," McCutchen said, "and I was just sitting there, like, 'This is about to happen again.'"
It did -- maybe not quite as dramatically for McCutchen and the Giants, but still successfully. He ended the Giants' ninth-inning uprising with another game-winning hit, lining a bases-loaded single to lift the Giants over the D-backs.

The park had a playoff vibe in spots. Good to see and hear.
Really shitty move by Giants fans, who are normally classy, towards Strickland. One pitch before, they are on their feet cheering him on. After Goldschmidt does what he does, they boo him. They have disdain for Strickland still, over the Bryce Harper thing. Get over it!! Bryce Harper isn't bringing his flow to SF.
Strickland isn't a red-neck from Georgia any more than Buster Posey (also from Georgia) is.
Get over that too. You're better than that. Or at least that's what you tell everybody.
