In Game 3, Conrad committed three gaffes. The final one came when he let a Buster Posey grounder squirt through his legs, letting in the go-ahead run in the Giants' 3-2 win.

Earlier, he flubbed a grounder and dropped a pop fly.

Conrad has eight errors over his last seven games.

San Francisco leads the best-of-five series 2-1.
