Hector Sanchez's throwing error in the ninth inning prevented Tim Lincecum from getting a well-deserved win. His walkoff single in the 12th moved the San Francisco Giants back into first place in the NL West. Sanchez's sharp grounder bounced off the glove of Houston second baseman Jose Altuve and went into right field, allowing Pablo Sandoval to score from second base and lift the Giants to a 3-2 win over the Astros on Saturday night.
