We kept fighting all the way to the end. We did have some opportunities in the seventh we didnt capitalize on. ...

Norris stole second before Rosales bounced a single past shortstop Brandon Crawford to tie the game.With Alexei Ramirez at the plate, Casilla appeared to catch a cleat and stutter-stepped during his delivery. A balk was called, bringing in Norris with the winning run.He just stumbled, caught a spike when he put his foot down. Clearly a balk, Green said.It looked like he was a little discombobulated there on the balk, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He was going home and his cleat caught or something. Its got to be one continuous motion. He did the right thing by throwing the ball, but he stutter-stepped and thats why its a balk.Casilla just got behind, Bochy said. He got behind 2-0 on the first hitter and had to go at him there, and he just wasnt sharp with his command.Rosales said he thought Crawford was going to make a great play, being the great shortstop that he is.I couldnt believe it, Rosales said about the balk.
