28 Buster Posey, C

Giants catcher Buster Posey's solo home run in the eighth inning Friday against Colorado narrowed what was a five-run deficit at one point to just one, but the team ended up falling just short in a 10-9 loss.

Posey did his part, reaching base in three of his five plate appearances, going 2 for 3 with a walk and a sacrifice fly. He drove in two runs and scored two more. He is now batting .293 on the season. 

Giants catcher Buster Posey accounted for all of San Francisco's offense as he launched his fifth home run of the season Thursday night against the Braves.

Posey, who singled in a run in the first, kept things going as he took starter Julio Teheran deep in the third inning for a two-run home run. He finished 2 for 4 with a run scored and three RBI in a 6-3 defeat.

After going without a home run in his first 16 games, Posey has homered five times in his last 17 games. He is hitting .357 with 11 walks, five home runs and 16 RBI over that span. The 26-year-old has a .296/.395/.528 line in 112 at-bats.
