Moment Number 3: Getting Matt Adams to groundout into the shift and strand the tying run on base in Game 4 of the 2014 NLCS

After just retaking the lead the inning before, the Giants bullpen got in a little jam but then Javier Lopez was called upon to face power hitting lefty Matt Adams with runners on first and second with two outs. Lopez was able to do what he does best, retiring left-handed batters. Falling 3-0 in the count, Lopez battled his way back and got Adams to ground out to Joe Panik and end the inning. The score would hold and the Giants would go on to win 6-4 and take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Setting up a historic ending the following night.
