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.

Brandon Belt tripled, doubled, hit an RBI single and scored two runs for the Giants after manager Bruce Bochy called on his team to get going offensively for this crucial, final week.Not so much different than the Giants challenges down the stretch in their World Series-winning years of 2010, 12 and 14.Its fun, Bochy said. 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.
