But his club’s past home stand provided an opportunity to highlight one.“We were a very productive offense,” he said. “It’s no secret: We were very productive because LaMonte Wade Jr. came up huge for us, Yaz got some big hits for us, Joc had some big at-bats, Wilmer Flores – the core group of veteran players that are here because they’ve always had great at-bats and done damage have helped us win five of six. That same group is going to be depended on going forward.”Just a few hours later, Kapler was reminded why snapshots in time are just that.Held without a hit for eight innings, the Giants lost in dramatic and devastating fashion. They were walked off by the Rockies, 3-2, after two runs scored on Elehuris Montero’s single to left ...
