Currey, who leads the NBC in triples with 6, was 4 for 7 with a triple and 3 singles, while scoring 3. The winner in relief was Joe Hager. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 2-1. New York's record now stands at 20-24, placing them last in the National Conference East.

The Giants got a clutch hit from first baseman Ricardo Santibanez. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Giants.

"We've got great fans," said Currey. "I hope they got what they came for."
