Twelve pitchers combined to throw 385 pitches in a game that lasted 4 hours, 15 minutes -- among the longest nine-inning games the Athletics and Giants have played. After a wild finish, Brandon Belt's big swings were nearly forgotten in it all. Belt hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning, Buster Posey added a two-run drive in the seventh, and the San Francisco Giants backed Madison Bumgarner's fourth straight win with just enough offense, holding on for a 9-8 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.
