Robbie Ray recorded a Quality Start and the Giants lineup converted 12 hits into 5 runs for their second win in their last 10 games. Key Lines:
Jung Hoo Lee RF- 2 for 4. BA= .270. Lee hit another ball hard(98.8 MPH) in the first inning but it held up and was caught by the RF. He did not figure into the scoring despite getting on base twice out of the leadoff spot.
Luis Arraez 2B- 1 for 4, 2 RBI. BA= .314. Contact cuts two ways. Arraez GIDP'd to end the third inning but his bases-loaded single in the 7'th inning capped the scoring.
Rafael Devers 1B- 2 for 4, HR(4), 2 R, RBI. BA= .229. Devers extends his hit streak to 8 games in which he is batting .346. This was the first multi-hit game of that run. The HR was the second in two games.
Willy Adames SS- 2 for 4, R. BA= .203. Adames just missed a 3-run HR in the 4'th inning that Bryan Reynolds caught just above the top of the LF wall. He generally looked more comfortable at the plate than he has for awhile. This was his first multi-hit game since 4/17 which capped a 14 for 40(.350) run. From 4/18-5/7 he went just 7 for 66(.106).
Heliot Ramos LF- 2 for 4, 2B, R, RBI. BA= .261. Ramos has a multi-hit game after going just 3 for 24 to start the month.
Drew Gilbert CF- 1 for 4, R, RBI. BA= .259. Gilbert has 2 hits in 7 AB over his last two game for 2 R and 2 RBI after going 1 for 8 to start the month. I'd like to see him stick around and at least platoon with Bader in CF after Bader comes off the IL.
Jesus Rodriguez C- 1 for 2. BA= .455. It looks like Rodriguez is the starting catcher at least until Susac gets back. He seems to be a decent receiver but the throwing arm might be lacking. He threw what Kuip described as a ground ball to 2B trying to catch a runner stealing and Bailey came in as a defensive replacement after he was hit on the right arm with a pitch. How will all this shake out when Susac gets back? My guess is Eldridge goes back to AAA and Rodriguez becomes the primary DH.
Robbie Ray LHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 2.76. Ray allowed 6 baserunners in the 2'nd and 3'rd innings but only gave up one run on a solo HR by Marcell Ozuna.
Caleb Kilian RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 0 K. ERA= 1.59. Non-Save situation. Giants are still looking for that guy who can close out a game with one run lead.
Landen Roupp RHP tries to keep the winning going today facing Braxton Ashcraft RHP.

ReplyDeleteSacramento lost their game in the 9th & Eugene in the 8th, although both were from ties, not protecting a lead.
Rumors going around that Patrick Bailey may be sent down to AAA when Susac is back in order to work on his hitting
ReplyDeleteThe Giants have traded Patrick Bailey to the Guardians. The Giants will receive pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson and the 29th overall pick of the 2026 draft.
ReplyDeleteLove that the Giants got the 29'th overall draft pick. Good job, Buster!
Deletewell, looks like SUSAC and RODRIGUEZ are the catchers!! BAILEY to Cleveland for Tugboat Matt Wilkinson (interesting LH SP prospect) and the Indians late comp pick in the 1st round.. And so it begins?

Regarding looking for a closer, Pava tweeted that Jason Foley is starting a rehab assignment in San Jose. He's a former Tigers closer signed as a free agent. He has a chance if his recovery goes well.
