Catcher A.J. Pierzynski knew from the second the ball left Humber’s hand that it would be way outside. Considering the count was full, that was bad news. Pinch-hitter Brendan Ryan started to swing then tried to stop. The ball skipped past Pierzynski’s glove and into his shin guard. As the ball bounced to Pierzynski’s right, several things happened in rapid succession. Pierzynski sprang from his crouch and started chasing the ball. Ryan headed to first, slowly, thinking he had been walked. Umpire Brian Runge called strike three. The dropped third strike rule is one of the oldest in baseball—older even than called strikes and called balls. But it had never been applied in such a dynamic situation: For the first time in major league history, the last out of a perfect game hinged on a catcher’s retrieving strike three and throwing to first to beat the runner. Pierzynski’s heart beat madly in his chest as he ran after the ball. It’s a hard enough play in a normal situation because the runner is often in the path of the ball, the catcher is in a hurry and the momentum he carries from chasing the ball makes throwing accurately difficult. Add in the stress of the situation and “your nerves are as high as they can be as far as being on red alert,” Pierzynski says. As Pierzynski grabbed the ball and prepared to throw, Pierzynski saw that Ryan had not gone far down the first base line because he had stopped to argue with Runge. Pierzynski says he would have been able to throw Ryan out if he hadn’t stopped, but the fact that he did allowed Pierzynski to set and make a good throw. Which is not nearly as easy as it sounds. “I wish I had caught it clean,” Pierzynski says, “because now every time they show Phil, they have to show me missing it and chasing it instead of showing Phil’s reaction.” For the record, a fan’s video from the crowd shows Humber waving toward first, his way of telling Pierzynski to throw there. As the ball sailed there, Humber dropped to his knees and briefly put his head and hands on the ground. Then he stood up and got mobbed by his teammates. Among Jeff Torborg’s 559 games were a perfect game by Sandy Koufax (in Torborg’s career game No. 74) and no-hitters by Bill Singer (334) and Nolan Ryan (488). ---

Byrd’s slam sets Giants’ single-season record [http://m.mlb.com/news/article/146045810/marlon-byrd-hits-giants-record-8th-grand-slam](http://m.mlb.com/news/article/146045810/marlon-byrd-hits-giants-record-8th-grand-slam) By Chris Haft / [MLB.com](http://MLB.com) | @sfgiantsbeat | SAN FRANCISCO – Marlon Byrd might have figured that he’d hit another grand slam at some juncture of his career. But he never would have guessed the identity of the pitcher he would victimize. Byrd’s career-long slump against St. Louis starter Michael Wacha lengthened to 0-for-17 Friday night with a first-inning strikeout that stranded two baserunners. It was the eighth strikeout Wacha had recorded against Byrd. But Byrd wiped out the memory of many of those fruitless at-bats by belting a third-inning grand slam that opened the scoring in the Giants’ 5-4 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Byrd’s grand slam was the Giants’ Major League-leading eighth of the season, establishing a franchise record. This total eclipsed the seven amassed by the club in 1951, 1954, 1970, 1998 and 2000. Only Thursday, Kelby Tomlinson’s grand slam against the Cubs pulled this year’s team into that group. Byrd’s slam marked the first time the Giants homered with the bases full in back-to-back games since June 11-12, 2003, when Pedro Feliz and Rich Aurilia did the honors. Byrd, who collected his eighth career grand slam, was well aware of the spell Wacha had cast over him. “Gosh, I’ve had a tough time against Wacha,” Byrd said. “… I see the ball well. But he spots his fastball. He spots his cutter. He spots his curveball and changeup.” Wacha struck out Byrd in the first inning with a 96 mph fastball. Byrd wasn’t at all discouraged. Rather, as he related, he reminded himself before his next plate appearance, “Be aggressive.” This mindset proved helpful as Wacha began their third-inning confrontation by throwing a curveball that didn’t break. It dangled. Byrd reacted to the mistake by driving the ball over the center-field wall. It was Byrd’s 22nd homer of the season and third in seven games since he joined the Giants in a trade from Cincinnati on Aug. 20 to compensate for the absence of injured right fielder Hunter Pence. Byrd also has 10 RBIs with San Francisco. Said Byrd, who owned a .237 batting average and a .286 on-base percentage when he joined the Giants, “I wanted to come here and help produce. It’s been a tough season up to this point, but right now I’m hoping to hit my stride.” The Giants squandered the 4-0 lead Byrd provided as St. Louis scored three runs in the fourth inning and another in the sixth. But they kept putting runners on base, accumulating three hits and four walks, before Tomlinson broke the tie with his bases-loaded, ninth-inning single. “Those guys, I think they’re about believing, period,” Byrd said of his new teammates, while indicating that he listens to the between-innings music at AT&T Park. “I’ve been on teams [that] have a four-run lead and all of a sudden give up a run, two runs, three runs, and it’s tied. And the air kind of lets out. We kept fighting, kept believing. You could see in every single at-bat, we were fighting hard every pitch.” Chris Haft is a reporter for [MLB.com](http://MLB.com).
