WATCH: San Francisco Giants 2B Joe Panik Knocks in Go Ahead Run in Game Four of the NLCS

After the Cardinals got off to a hot start in Game Four of the NLCS and took a 4-1 lead after 2 1/2 innings it looked a little bleak for the hometown Giants. With most of the game still left to be played there was no reason to panic. All the Giants had to do was clamp down on defense and start generating a few runs of their own.

So they did.

Buster Posey and Hunter Pence each knocked in a run in the bottom of the third. Juan Perez scored in the sixth to tie it up at 4-4. On the next at-bat Joe Panik was out after hitting a grounder to first, but Brandon Crawford was able to score and give the Giants the lead for good.

Gregor Blanco scored on a Posey single before the 6th inning to give San Francisco some breathing room they didn't need.
