Was that Charlie Brown pitching for San Francisco last night?

Giants' closer Santiago Casilla surrendered three straight hits that tied the game in the home half of the Padres 10th inning before stumbling off the mound on a pitch to Alexei Ramirez and balking in the winning run. It was San Francisco's 18th blown save of the season.

Perhaps Sergio Romo is healthy enough to resume some closer reponsibilities until Casilla regains his control.

I'd have placed the victory in the weak sauce lower case 'w' category. The Padres got their mojo working.

and the Dodgers aren't going away.

Casilla has been struggling all season. There's going to be a shakeup.
