Goes long Sunday Flores went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact Flores took Duane Underwood deep to left in the sixth to extend the Giants' lead to 3-1. He's now recorded a hit in seven of his last nine games and has five homers in July. The 29-year-old has been pretty dependent on the long ball for run production recently, as seven of his nine RBI this month have come from home runs. Flores has shown significant improvement with his patience at the plate. His 29 walks already tie his career-best mark for a season. He's slashing .252/.333/.441 with 12 homers, 34 RBI, 41 runs scored, a steal and 29:37 BB:K over 288 plate appearances.
