Big Unit makes possible final appearance as Giants beat Padres 4-3 in 10 innings
If Randy Johnson’s career is over, he finished it with a strikeout. The Big Unit and Pablo Sandoval each provided some final memories for a San Francisco Giants team that stayed in the wild-card chase until the last week of the season.
Johnson made what could be the last appearance of his brilliant, 22-year big league career, pitching one adventuresome inning of relief in the Giants’ 4-3, 10-inning win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
Although the Big Unit gave up an unearned run in the seventh that tied the game 3-3, Sandoval provided the go-ahead run when he homered on the first pitch of the 10th inning. It was Sandoval’s 25th.
The 46-year-old Johnson said Thursday that he’ll take his time in the off-season deciding his future. The 303-game winner also hoped to get one more outing this season, and manager Bruce Bochy wanted to oblige.

Lincecum returning for Wild showdown
Tim Lincecum believes that the Giants need added motivation as they cling to the fringes of postseason contention.
“We’ve been pretty lax the last couple of days,” Lincecum said on Sunday, after the Giants lost the first two games of their critical series against the Los Angeles Dodgers by a combined score of 19-4. “I think it’s time for something to kick us in the butt. … We have to turn something on. This is where it counts.”
Lincecum might help provide that spark. The right-hander, who missed his last start with back spasms, will start Monday night’s series opener against the Colorado Rockies, who lead San Francisco by 4 1/2 games in the National League Wild Card race.
