The Giants scored the go-ahead run on blown double play by the Guardians then added an insurance run on a wild pitch in the 8'th inning. The bullpen was not torture free, but held on for 6 more outs for the win.
Brandon Belt 1B- 2 for 5. BA= .375. Belt drove in the Giants first two runs with a hard groundball single up the middle in the 5'th inning. He also led off the 8'th inning with an infield single on a squibber to 3B and came around to score on the force out/blown DP ball for the go-ahead run in the 8'th inning.
Austin Slater PH/LF- 1 for 1, BB. BA= .133. After his walkoff double on Opening Day, Slater was 0 for 11 before his single and eventual score today. He has contributed on defense with some nice catches.
Anthony DeSclafani RHP- 4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.32. Similar results to his first start but went an additional IP. Not a problem for the bullpen due to both Webb and Rodon going deep into the last two games plus a day off in between. Ideally I am sure the Giants want their SP's to go at least 5 IP, but if DeSclafani does this every start, I am also sure the Giants would be happy with that.
Leone, Rogers and McGee pitched scoreless frames in innings 7, 8, 9. McGee got the Save, but not before coming out wild and putting two runners on base.
*************************************************************************************
The Win extends the Giants record to 6-2. They've given up just 3 runs in 2 games to the hottest hitting team in MLB coming in. Alex Wood LHP goes for the sweeeeep tomorrow against Aaron Civale RHP in a 10:40 AM PDT start.
