The Giants scored a total of 17 runs in the first two games of the series and lost both. Today they held the Rockies to 5 runs…..and still lost! The other story of this game was clutch hitting by the Rockies who scored all 5 of their runs on 2-out hits and the lack of clutch hitting by the Giants who were 1 for 7 with 2 outs and runners on base. Key Lines:
Kelby Tomlinson SS- 0 for 3, 2 BB. BA= .261.
Joe Panik 2B- 3 for 5. BA= .274.
Hunter Pence RF- 2 for 5. BA= ..247.
Giants first 3 hitters went a combined 7 for 14 and did not figure into any of the scoring. As Vin Scully would say, "go figure"! The Giants lone run scored when Nick Hundley hit a 1-out double in the 4'th inning and Gorkys Hernandez drove him in with a 2-out single. BTW, Gorkys is 7 for 14 in June so far after hitting .154 and .196 in April and May respectively.
Matt Cain RHP- 5 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.99. This qualifies as a good start by Cainer these days. What isn't different is the lack of run support.

Bryan Morris is either ON or OFF: in 18 appearances he's been effective 14 times and terrible in 4. Don't think that works. When the Giants were down 2-1 there was some hope but ...
ReplyDeleteWith Hernandez hitting (looked good in the field too -- he ran down a couple long flies) there were only two holes in the lineup for a change, Hill and #9, the two you know you're going to get. With all the RHBs in the game and Núñez on the mend, Belt pinch hit with 2 on in the 6th, but wiffed against the lefty. Maybe the Giants secret weapon -- Ty Blach -- should've hit! That was the end of the game for SF, Cain came out and Morris came in.
