He is hitting .376 for the Giants and has 278 hits since the start of the 2011 season.

"He's taking it hard," Bochy said. "We wanted to give him the message that we know he's doing all he can. 'Hey, you're throwing the ball well. Sure, you had a hiccup in the sixth inning. That's going to happen. The only thing you've got to do is keep working.' "More than anything you let him know you're all in with him. All you ask a guy is to give all you have. Timmy's doing that.
