Jonny Venters came in for the bottom of the seventh, and while he wasn’t at his sharpest, he did battle around two singles to hold the Giants at four runs. A big strike out of Andres Torres with 1 out and runners at the corners was the key for him. Freddy Sanchez followed the strike-out with a high pop-out that carried out to Heyward in right. Craig Kimbrel was seen warming up in the inning, and seems the likeliest candidate to pitch the bottom of the eighth.
