Summary:

Jung Ho Kang settled it with two outs in the eighth inning when he hit a two-strike fastball over the center-field fence to break a 3-3 tie, ending Derek Law’s 19-game scoreless streak.
Buster Posey called for a slider. Law shook him off and went with a 95-mph fastball. Law did not regret the decision, just the execution of the pitch.
“I just yanked it,” he said.
A Jordy Mercer error gave the Giants an opening to come back in the ninth. When Panik shot a one-out double past third base, the crowd sensed a comeback. A single might have meant a walk-off win.
But Tony Watson got out of it on three pitches. The first was an intentional ball. It looked as though the Pirates planned to walk Ehire Adrianza intentionally, but catcher Francisco Cervelli misread a sign.
Manager Clint Hurdle wanted to pitch to Adrianza and delivered that message. Two pitches later the game was over. Adrianza popped out and Denard Span hit a weak groundball.
Posey returned from a back injury and hit a two-run double in the first inning. A Brandon Crawford double in the sixth, after a Posey single, set up a Hunter Pence groundball that tied the game.


Bochy considering rotation change for Dodgers series

Bochy said the staff will discuss altering the rotation and skipping Matt Cain's next start. That would line up Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Matt Moore against the Dodgers next week in Los Angeles. Bumgarner and Cueto will face them either way, but throwing a second lefty against the Dodgers could be big. Most of their best hitters -- Cory Seager, Chase Utley, Adrian Gonzalez, Joc Pederson -- hit from the left side



Mets:

DeGrom vs. Bum
Matz vs Cueto
Colon vs. Moore
SAamardzija vs. TBA (Syndergaard?)

Dodgers:

Right now -

Ross Strippling vs. Matt Cain -Strippling 1-1 3.05 since break
Bud Norris vs Bum - Norris 2-2 5.50 2nd H
Brett Anderson vs. Johnny Cueto -Anderson 1 IP this season 5 ER, 2 HR, hurt wrist


49ERS:

-Another non throwing day for Kaepernick

-Barrows: Baalke says no truth to PFT report, will likely throw Thursday


Looking ahead, there has been speculation the 49ers could make Kaepernick inactive during each game of the regular season, which would eliminate the risk of potentially paying his $14.5 million 2017 base salary, which is guaranteed for injury.
Asked about such a scenario, Baalke said “no facts point to that.” He was subsequently asked if Kaepernick would be active on game days if he proved to be the second-best quarterback on the roster.
“None of those decisions have been made yet,” Baalke said. “Nor are we prepared to make those decisions one week into the preseason. We’re going to evaluate this team each and every week and things are fluid. You’re going to make the best decisions you can at the time you make them. Right now, we want him healthy.”

NBA:

-LeBron says Jordan gets too much credit for Bulls titles

Speaking of Jordan, James said he along with Ken Griffey Jr. and Deion Sanders were the players he looked up to most as a child. However, James also suggested Jordan gets too much credit sometimes for the six championships the Bulls won with him, or at least Scottie Pippen and other role players do not get enough credit.
