A pair of sac flies by Tommy La Stella PH/DH was the difference in the game as the Giants overcame a sluggish start against Kris Bubic LHP to extend their win streak to 5 games.
La Stella entered the game as a PH for starting DH, Evan Longoria. His first Sac Fly capped a 3-run Giants rally in the 6'th inning. The second got them an insurance run in the 8'th inning.
Per a tweet I saw, Wilmer Flores 3B saw 28 pitches in 4 PA and reached base 3 times. He drove in a run and scored in the middle of the Giants 3-run rally.
Luis Gonzalez RF continued to state his case for sticking around after everybody comes off the IL. His double was just the Giants second hit of the evening and started the 3-run rally. He also threw out a runner at home plate to preserve Logan Webb RHP's scoreless start in the 7'th.
Logan Webb RHP was excellent, pitching 7 shutout innings while striking out 9.
Tyler Rogers RHP had one of his crazy BABIPy innings in the 8'th but got out of it with the lead intact, if just barely.
Camilo Doval RHP hit 103 on the radar gun and sat 101. The slider was a bit on the wild side but a devastating pitch when he got it where he wanted. 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, Save(9). ERA= 2.63.
I don't know who let the secret out because I told y'all not to tell anyone about Kris Bubic LHP's 9+ ERA. He ended up no-hitting the Giants through 4 innings and taking a shutout into the 6'th inning.

Giants go for their second consecutive series sweep tomorrow afternoon with TBD on the mound facing Jonathan Heasley RHP. I'm thinking Sam Long LHP can probably go 3 innings again on 3 days rest.
