This Giants team sure seems to do everything together. They get hot together and they get cold together. Right now, they are all cold. So cold, you could probably go ice skating on top of the starting lineup! In this game, the lineup managed just 4 hits while Ryan Vogelsong had a ragged outing and fell behind early. That is a recipe for another loss! Key Lines:
Ryan Vogelsong- 3.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 5 BB, 1 K. ERA= 4.81. Vogey has pitched well this year, but he didn't have it in this game. He got the first two outs easily, then the next 6 baserunners reached, 4 of them via walks. He walked in the last two runs of the 3-run first inning. He settled down a bit in the 2'nd and 3'rd innings, but then issued another walk to lead off the 4'th which led to another run allowed.
Mike Broadway- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00. Broadway got the callup and shined in his debut, sitting mid-90's and hitting 98 MPH.
Bullpen- 5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's. Nice work from the entire bullpen, but the game was already out of reach for the struggling offense.
The Loss left the Giants 2.5 games behind he Dodgers who lost to the Padres 2-1. The Giants fell 0.5 games behind in the race for the last Wild Card playoff spot.
Chris Heston, coming off his magnificent no-hitter, tried to salvage a win in he series facing Rubby De La Rosa this afternoon.

Vogey did not have it but man that guy is a battler. He fights for every pitch. Probably his last year as a Giant but whatever happens he's going to be one of my favorite Giant stories of all time.
