Zito has chance to pull Giants even with Reds
CINCINNATI (AP) — Joaquin Arias hit the ball, put his head down and ran. All he knew was that the Giants' season depended upon how fast he made it to first.
"That's the fastest I've ever run to first," the infielder said.
He won the playoff dash, taking advantage of third baseman Scott Rolen's momentary bobble to beat the throw. Arias' foot hit the bag, and the Giants suddenly had a little hope.
