2.   Catcher Bill Haselman reached on an error when Brosius muffed the grounder, which scored Mo Vaughn with the third run.

3.   John Johnstone allowed the final two Oakland runs in the seventh, in part because Kent muffed a grounder that should have been the third out.

4.   Kent muffed a grounder off the bat of Sanders for his second error of the game, and all of a sudden, the Giants were threatening.
