Giants' Buster Posey: Smashes towering homer in Thursday win

Posey went 2-for-6 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 12-6 victory over the A's.

Analysis:

The 29-year-old hit a towering shot off Dillon Overton in the third that plated Angel Pagan and Brandon Belt, Posey's first homer since June 2. Thursday's effort represented the ninth time in the last 10 games that Posey has hit safely, although the round-tripper was only his third extra-base hit over that span. However, he did turn in a highly productive month of June overall, slashing .319/.381/.457 over 94 at-bats.
