SAN FRANCISCO -- Buster Poseys 1,000th hit came on a home run that bounced off the top of the wall and over. The fan who grabbed the souvenir ball gladly returned it, and Posey offered a bat in trade.That kind of good fortune is exactly what the San Francisco Giants need this final week as they make a playoff push -- and more of the same kind of offensive production from up and down the lineup.Hunter Pence went deep one batter after Posey in the fifth inning during a 19-hit night for San Francisco, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 12-3 on Tuesday.Its a cool accomplishment, Posey said. I think back of being a kid and thinking about, the opportunity to play in the major leagues was a dream come true, so to have 1,000 hits is kind of hard to believe.Brandon Crawford tripled twice for San Francisco, which remained a half-game behind the Mets for the top NL wild card and one game up on the Cardinals for the second spot.Matt Moore (12-12) matched his career high with 11 strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings, rebounding from his worst start this season.Posey and Pence hit consecutive solo shots, the fifth time the Giants have had back-to-back homers this year.

It really is. We wish we were in better position.Joe Panik had a triple, an RBI double and a single. Angel Pagan added two hits, including a run-scoring single, and an RBI groundout.All three NL wild-card contenders won by scoring 12 runs. In fact, Bochy told hitting coach Hensley Meulens hed better have his hitters ready.Hopefully, this gets this offense clicking a little bit, Bochy said. Were going to have to score runs. Were playing good teams and they swing the bat. It will be important we get this offense going a little bit. Thats gotten away from us. Thats my hope, it is something they can build on.Moore was knocked out after only an inning -- the second-shortest start of the leftys career -- in a 9-3 loss at the Dodgers last Wednesday, allowing six runs on seven hits.
