It was his eighth homer of the season. Over his recent streak, Grace has four doubles, three home runs and 13 RBIs. But Felipe Crespo, pinch hitting to lead off the bottom half against Arizona closer Bret Prinz, also homered into McCovey Cove. It was Crespo's first home run of the season, and second career pinch-hit homer. He is the only Giant besides Barry Bonds to homer into the San Francisco Bay.
Grace is the third opposing batter with a splash hit.
Luis Gonzalez doubled to right-center to lead off the 10th against Robb Nen, and scored two outs later on Durazo's single. Starters Randy Johnson and Mark Gardner kept the game scoreless through the first seven innings. Johnson allowed six hits in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked two. The reigning Cy Young lost his last start, also against Gardner and the Giants, after winning two straight.
