Another One from Juan

In what turned out to be the deciding hit in Game One of the World Series, Juan Uribe blasted a 5th inning Darren O'Day fastball into the left field seats at AT&T Park for a 3-run HR.

O’Day started Uribe out with two sliders that ended up way outside of the zone.  He then came in on Uribe with a fastball.
