SAN FRANCISCO - A wild pitch, a wide throw and an 18-inning marathon.These playoff-tested Giants keep finding wacky ways to win in another special October.An errant throw by reliever Randy Choate on a bunt allowed Brandon Crawford to score the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting San Francisco over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Championship Series.Everybodys saying: How are the Giants doing it? How are the Giants winning games? said Gregor Blanco, who laid down the sacrifice. We just really believe in each other. We play together.Crawford drew an eight-pitch walk from Choate to begin the inning, ending a stretch of 16 straight Giants retired since Tim Hudsons two-out single in the fourth. After failing on two sacrifice attempts, Juan Perez singled to bring up Blanco.Blanco fouled off a bunt try, too, but then pushed one to the third-base side of the mound and the left-handed Choates side-arm throw sailed past lunging second baseman Kolten Wong, who was covering first base.We had trouble getting the bunt down, Crawford said. So I was happy he got it down. He put it in a great spot and made those guys make a play, and fortunately (we) saw the throw go wide.Randal Grichuk tied it with a solo homer in the seventh that chased Hudson.Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night, with Ryan Vogelsong pitching for the Giants against fellow righty Shelby Miller.Choate blamed himself.

They squandered Wongs double in the second before he delivered a wind-aided, two-run triple in the fourth.Javier Lopez got the first two outs of the 10th before Jon Jays single, just the third hit by a left-handed batter against Lopez since he joined San Francisco in 2010. Two of those are by Jay this series.Sergio Romo entered and retired Matt Holliday on a full-count grounder to third that Pablo Sandoval snared and fired to first.We dont do anything easy, Bochy said.
