Venable's incredible diving catch on the warning track in center with his back to the infield — reminiscent of Jim Edmonds at his best — robbed Juan Perez of a certain game-ending hit and allowed the Padres more time to take the lead and beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 in 13 innings.Venable went all out to track down the ball hit by Juan Perez, which surely would have won the game for the Giants had it dropped with a runner on second. Outstanding effort and timing by Venable."It was one of the best catches I've seen to save a game. It's as simple as that. It's a game-saving catch," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy after the game.To matters even sweeter for Venable, the Padres would score the winning run in the 13th.
