Alex Wood LHP took a no-hitter into the 6'th inning before faltering in the 7'th, but the Giants offense was more than enough to pick him up. Game Notes:
Wood was perfect through 4 innings and didn't give up his first hit until the 6'th when Garrett Hampson CF doubled with 2 outs. Wood featured a killer slider that broke to the back foot of RH batters and just ate them up. He walked the leadoff batter in the 7'th then ran into some nasty BABIP bad luck giving up 3 consecutive singles, none of which were exactly barreled up.
Camilo Doval RHP might be the Kap's high leverage guy after pitching his way out of a no-out, bases loaded jam while allowing just 1 inherited runner to score.
Newcomer Mike Tauchman CF had a succesful Giants debut going 3 for 4.
All nine of the Giants hits were singles. They were helped by 9 BB's issued by Rockies' pitchers who lead the league in walks allowed.

Mike Yastrzemski OF finally hit the IL with an oblique strain which seems like the right thing to do. It's a long season. Let's make sure he's completely recovered before bringing him back. The Giants also optioned Gregory Santos RHP back to alternate site while bringing Sam Selman LHP to Oracle Park.

The Win keeps the Giants tied for first place in the NL West with the Dodgers. They get a day off before travel to San Diego for a weekend series against the Padres. Logan Webb RHP is slated to start game 1 against Yu Darvish RHP.
It's been Gausman - Webb- DeSclafani - Sanchez - Wood.
ReplyDeletePadres: Darvish - Snell - Musgrove.
Will be interesting road trip for SF, 3 in SD followed by 3 in COL. Rockies are 8-7 at home, SD 5-8, losing 5 of 6 in last homestand to LA and MIL.
Oops!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, you're right.
2-game slippage for a groin issue?
2 or 3 extra days takes care of it?
