Friday night in San Francisco, Buster Posey broke a 2 all tie in the bottom of the 8^th inning with a 2 run homer (8) off Carlos Torres. The Mets drop their 4^th straight, losing to the Giants 4-2.  The game began as a pitcher’s duel between Jon Niese and Matt Cain.  The Giants broke through first taking a 1-0 in the bottom of the 5th  on a sac-fly by Brandon Crawford. In the top of the 7^th the Mets took the lead when Daniel Murphy clubbed a two run homer (4) to make it 2-1 Mets. The Giants tied the game up in the bottom of the frame on a RBI single by Crawford.  In the bottom of the 8^th, Torres came in and uncharacteristically walked Angel Pagan.
