Bay Area Roundup

The two San Francisco Bay areas teams lost Wednesday night. The Angels downed the Athletics 4-1 as Ervin Santana held Oakland to one run in six innings of work. Trevor Cahill walked five and gave up two home runs, pitching a game out of character for him. Control and keeping the ball in the park are usually his strengths.

The Giants mounted a comeback, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth to wipe out a 6-2 Florida lead. The Marlins, however, received a sacrifice fly from Emilio Bonifacio in the 12th and won the game 7-6. Burke Badenhop picked up the second save of his career by pitching a perfect 12th.

Buster Posey extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a 1 for 5 night. He’s hitting .380 during the streak, and is 19 for 42 when he puts the ball in play.

Update: Posey was injured on the 12th inning score.

Cousins scored the go-ahead run in a brutal collision with catcher Buster Posey at home in the 12th inning, injuring the Giants star as the Florida Marlins beat San Francisco 7-6.

The Marlins blew a four-run lead in the ninth, setting up the play at the plate. Posey went for X-rays on his left ankle, and the Giants said there would be no test results until Thursday, when he’ll have an MRI exam.

Will Carroll thinks he’s headed to the disabled list.

Update: Here’s the video. What’s unfortunate is that a feet first slide would have worked just fine, since Buster never caught the ball.
