The Giants took a slightly different route but ended up at the same place as they matched 6-0 losses to the A's in consecutive games. This time they got 6 innings of stellar starting pitching from Kevin Gausman and the bullpen got blown out.....and of course they didn't hit a lick. Key Lines:
Kevin Gausman RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.76. The Giants are paying Gausman $9 M this season. He has pitched to a value well above that, but in a very short season. Had he done this over a full season, he would likely be a slam-dunk for QO. Giants may want to consider it anyway. Gausman on a 1 year contract for the QO would actually be quite a bargain.

The loss dropped the Giants back below .500 at 25-26 and into a tie for 9'th place in the NL with the BrewCrew. Not sure who holds the tiebreaker there. Top 8 teams make the playoffs.

Tyler Anderson LHP tries to avoid the sweep today....and he wasn't very good his last start. Mike Minor LHP goes for the A's.
