heat of the moment

Fred Lewis hasn’t had the kind of season the San Francisco Giants were counting on (.269 with 18 RBIs), but no one was thinking about that Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Lewis — Fast Fred from Wiggins by way of Mississippi Gulf Coast CC — sparked the Giants’ 8-4 win over Los Angeles, a victory that kept San Francisco in the National League wild card chase. Pinch hitting in the sixth inning of a 4-4 game, Lewis delivered an RBI double over the head of left fielder Manny Ramirez and scored an insurance run on a Eugenio Velez double. … Ole Miss product Chris Coghlan led off the ninth inning by reaching on an error and set off a four-run rally by Florida that took down Cincinnati 4-3 at the Great American Ballpark on Friday. The Marlins gained ground on wild card leader Colorado with that victory. … At the Metrodome, former Rebels star Matt Tolbert, the pride of McComb, had a hit and highlight-reel defensive play at third base in Minnesota’s 3-0 win over Detroit. The feisty Twins, managed by ex-Jackson Met Ron Gardenhire, are just 3 games behind the Tigers in the American League Central.
