SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants were the first team to showcase four players who exceeded 500 home runs apiece: Mel Ott, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Barry Bonds.

Though the Giants haven¡¯t been known for power hitting in recent years, they produced home run highlights early in this decade that would make their slugging predecessors proud.

Here¡¯s a ranking of the top 10 homers San Francisco hit during the 2010s:

1. Renteria seizes his chance
Nov. 1, 2010

Shortstop Edgar Renteria concluded his second Major League season in 1997 by slapping a World Series-winning RBI single off Cleveland¡¯s Charles Nagy in the 11th inning of Game 7. Cut to 2010 and the seventh inning of World Series Game 5: Renteria belted a homer off Cliff Lee to account for the Giants¡¯ scoring in their Series-clinching, 3-1 victory at Texas. It was the Giants¡¯ first World Series championship since the franchise moved to San Francisco in 1958.

2. The shot heard ¡¯round the Bay
Oct. 16, 2014

It was the closest thing to a Bobby Thomson moment that contemporary Giants fans have experienced. With one out in the bottom of the ninth inning and the score tied, 3-3, Travis Ishikawa drove a Michael Wacha fastball into the right-field seats at AT&T (now Oracle) Park to seal the Giants¡¯ 6-3 victory over St. Louis in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. The decision sent the Giants into the World Series against Kansas City.

3. Uribe sends Giants to Series
Oct. 23, 2010

Locked in a competitive NLCS, the Giants and Phillies were tied, 2-2, entering the eighth inning of Game 6 when Juan Uribe, facing Ryan Madson, smacked an opposite-field line drive to right that barely cleared the wall. Most folks forget that Uribe hit a personal-best 24 home runs that season. The Giants held on to win, 3-2, and advance to the World Series.

4. Morse flexes muscles just in time
Oct. 16, 2014

Michael Morse may have been the club¡¯s purest power hitter in 2014, but an oblique injury limited his playing time. Fortunately for the Giants, Morse was whole enough to unleash a good swing or two every so often. He couldn¡¯t have picked a better spot for this one. The Cardinals led Game 5 of the NLCS, 3-2, and appeared bound to bring the series back to St. Louis. Morse wrested momentum from the Cardinals by pinch-hitting for Madison Bumgarner to lead off the Giants¡¯ half of the eighth and pulling Pat Neshek¡¯s third pitch into the left-field seats. That forged a tie and set up Ishikawa¡¯s pennant-winning clout.

5. Sandoval assembles a trio
Oct. 24, 2012

Impervious to intimidation, Pablo Sandoval treated Justin Verlander as few others treated the Detroit ace. Sandoval tied a World Series record shared by Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols by homering three times -- twice off Verlander -- in the same game, which in this case was an 8-3 Giants victory in the opener of the 2012 World Series.

6. Posey puts Reds in their place
Oct. 11, 2012

The scene was the fifth inning of Game 5 of the Division Series at Cincinnati. The Giants were trying to secure their third consecutive elimination-game victory at Great American Ball Park, where the Reds hadn¡¯t lost three in a row all season. Buster Posey demonstrated why he earned NL Most Valuable Player honors that year by reaching the upper deck with a grand slam off Mat Latos. That punctuated a six-run uprising that propelled the Giants to a series-ending, 6-4 triumph.

7. Belt ends marvelous marathon
Oct. 4, 2014

With an 18th-inning home run off Washington¡¯s Tanner Roark, Brandon Belt broke a 1-1 stalemate in the longest postseason game ever, in terms of time (six hours, 23 minutes). The Giants¡¯ 2-1 win at Washington gave them a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five NLDS.

8. Ross is boss
Oct. 16, 2010

Late-season acquisition Cody Ross homered in the third and fifth innings off Phillies ace Roy Halladay to help the Giants win the NLCS opener, 4-3. Relatively new to the postseason scene, the Giants needed a superlative effort from somebody like Ross to fuel their confidence.

9. Crawford likes being dealt Wild Card
Oct. 1, 2014

Shortstop Brandon Crawford silenced a raucous Pittsburgh crowd with a fourth-inning grand slam off Edinson V¨®lquez to back Bumgarner¡¯s four-hit, complete-game effort in an 8-0 decision in the NL Wild Card Game. Crawford joined Chuck Hiller (1962 World Series), Will Clark (1989 NLCS) and Posey (2012 NLDS) as the only Giants to hit a grand slam in a postseason game.

10. Pat the Bat dazzles Dodgers
July 31, 2010

Through seven innings, the partisan crowd that filled AT&T Park awaited some sign of life from the Giants, who trailed 1-0 and had mustered three hits off Chad Billingsley and Hung-Chih Kuo. With two outs in the eighth, Kuo hit Posey with a pitch, prompting the Dodgers to summon closer Jonathan Broxton with Pat Burrell due up. Burrell had gone 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, but he connected solidly with Broxton¡¯s 3-2 pitch and drove it over the left-center-field barrier as the fans shrieked with joy.
