While Mike Tauchman's overall numbers aren't impressive, the outfielder has had some huge moments for the Giants during his brief tenure with the club.
Tauchman almost had another one in the ninth inning of the Giants' 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night, but the play in question ended in controversy.
Leading off against Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, Tauchman looped a base hit in front of Cody Bellinger and the ball kicked away from the center fielder.

Tauchman tried to seize the opportunity and took off for the second. A leadoff double would have been massive for the Giants, and it looked like he beat the tag by Chris Taylor.
Tauchman was called out by the second base umpire, though he immediately signaled to the Giants dugout to review the play.
After seeing several replay angles, it still looked like Tauchman beat the tag, though it's unclear if he stayed in contact with the bag the entire time Taylor held the tag on.
Upon consultation with the replay review center on the East Coast, the umpires confirmed the call and ruled Tauchman out.
Manager Gabe Kapler still wasn't convinced the umpires got it right when he met with the media shortly after the loss.
"I wasn't sure when we were in the dugout, to be honest with you because I didn't have a chance to look at it from several different angles like I did after the game," Kapler said. "After the game, I thought we made the correct call to challenge it and I thought he was safe."
NBC Sports Bay Area Giants analyst George Kontos was asked about the controversial call and he didn't mince words.
"Replay is a little dicey nowadays because the whole point of it is that you want to get the call right and I think the whole point is to get conclusive evidence," Kontos said on "Giants Postgame Live" after the game. "And from where I was sitting and all the replay angles we saw, it looked like Tauchman's hand got in there and then it looked like his left knee got down before the tag was reapplied on him. You know, umpires are going to look out for umpires and nobody wants to look bad on the calls, so you see a lot of the guys protecting each other out there."
If Tauchman had been ruled safe, the Giants would have had a runner in scoring position with no one out and Buster Posey, Alex Dickerson and Brandon Crawford due up. Instead Posey struck out on three pitches and Dickerson grounded out to second base to end the game.

It's not a certainty that the Giants would have brought Tauchman home to tie the game -- they were 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position Monday -- but at least they would have had a few more chances to prolong the game.
