Jonathan Sanchez allows a single and gets an out in the bottom of the eighth before Bruce Bochy replaces him with Sergio Romo, and Eric Hinske pinch-hits with a man on first.

Update: Hinkse hits a line drive, just inside the rightfield foul pole and just over the fence, and the Braves take a 2-1 lead. He hit three home runs as a pinch hitter in the regular season.

Update: Hinkse had a great season as a pinch hitter, 14/47 with three homers, a .298/.389/.596 slash line.

Update: That’s all the Braves get, but it may be enough. In a low-scoring, close game, the big hits matter, and right now the Braves’ home run beats the Giants’ triple.
