With two outs in the inning and no one on base, Alex Gordon hit a single to left-center that the Giants totally botched....

The ball was out there forever. Watching the game, it seemed like Gordon was going to have a chance at a game-tying inside-the-park home run. But ultimately he was held at third base by coach Mike Jirschele.

After the game Jirschele explained his decision. He said Gordon had "no chance" to score. He said Gordon was just getting to third base when shortstop Brandon Crawford got the relay throw. He told reporters:

"As soon as I saw Blanco misplay it and get by him and go to the wall I thought, 'We got a chance here.' Like I said I got back down the baseline and watched the play develop and as soon as Crawford secured it and I saw where Alex was I just thought, 'We've got no chance of scoring him.'"
