    After standing in the on-deck circle and watching an 11-pitch tussle between Buster Posey and Athletics reliever Blake Treinen that ended in a strikeout, Giants cleanup hitter Evan Longoriadecided to take a quicker approach in his own at-bat against the former All-Star closer.

    "I don't know if I swung at a first pitch this whole series but I kind of thought if this is the time, this is going to be it," Longoria said. "I figured (Treinen) was going to try and get ahead."

    Longoria hit a go-ahead, two-run single off Treinen in the seventh inning after homering earlier in the game, and San Francisco rallied late again to beat Oakland 5-4 on Sunday for a two-game sweep.
