Game Wrap 5/21/2017: Cardinals 8 Giants 3

The Giants were never in this one as Matt Cain gave up a 4-spot in the 2'nd inning and more later in his start.  Key Lines:

Brandon Crawford SS- 1 for 3, HR(3), BB.  BA= .274.
Eduardo Nunez LF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .272.  Crawford and Nunez hit B2B dingers in the 8'th inning to make the final score closer than it should have been.

Matt Cain RHP- 5.1 IP, 9 H, 7 R, 3 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.91.  Gone are the days when Cain can get by without his best stuff.  He just doesn't have the velocity to muscle hitters into submission like he used to.

*********************************************************************************

The Loss dropped the Giants 9 games off the pace set by the NL West leading Rockies.

The Giants start a 4 game series against the Cubs in Wrigley Field tomorrow evening with Ty Blach facing John Lackey.

  1. Giants are 19-26 .422
    If they go 26-19 .578 they'll be .500 at ASG.
    Dodgrs are 26-19 today, so that can't be too hard!
    Still a good goal, but it's always one day at a time, sometimes 13 days in a row!
    162-game season is, essentially, 182 days of play, 20 days off in 26 weeks!
    What a grind!
    This week's matchups with Cubs are not terrible, just remember 2016 when it almost went 5 with Bumgarner for the series win.
    Now we got Melacon! And the same 4 starters but they don't! SWEEP!
