The Giants win Game 3 of the NLCS, 5 – 4, over the Cardinals, on a 10th-inning error by pitcher Randy Choate, who fields Gregor Blanco’s bunt but throws the ball into right field, allowing Brandon Crawford to score the winning run from second base. A three-run double by Travis Ishikawa had put San Francisco ahead, 4 – 0, in the 1st inning, but they fail to generate any more offence, allowing St. Louis to come back and force extra innings.
