Perhaps the Blue Jays hitters were smarting over being shut down last night because they came out and tacked a 5-spot on Logan Webb RHP in the first inning. They only scored 1 more run the rest of the game but they got all the runs they needed and more in that first inning.
Austin Slater PH/RF batted for Michael Conforto RF who left the game with the dreaded hamstring tightness after bumping into the RF foul wall on a catch. Slater later hit a HR for the Giants only run of the game.
Lamonte Wade Jr 1B had 3 hits from the leadoff position in the lineup but it went for naught.
Ross Stripling RHP allowed 1 Run in 3 IP in his first appearance since coming of the IL and nope, it wasn't in a starting role.
Dodgers and D'Backs both lost so the NL West standing remain static. Giants maintain a 0.5 game lead over the Dodgers for the 2'nd of 3 Wild Card playoff spots. The Marlins won so now lead the Giants by 2 games for the first Wild Card spot.
The Giants try for a series win tomorrow with TBD facing Chris Bassitt RHP. Speaking of.....what's going on with Sean Manaea LHP? He's pitched exactly 2 innings in 2 appearances since June16.
