The Giants were beaten in every phase of the game in close to a replay of Friday night's game.
Lineup: 7 hits from 6 different players. Devers went 2 for 4 with double. Luis Arraez tripled for the only RBI. Drew Gilbert drew 3 walks and a HBP and score the only run. 0 for 7 with RISP. 9 LOB. Overall as feckless a performance as we've seen all season and that's saying something.
Pitching: Trevor McDonald RHP left after his 92'd pitch and was still in the 4'th inning. Reiver Sanmartin LHP came in and walked the lefthanded hitting Michael Busch to drive in McDonald's 4'th ER of the evening. He then struck out the righthanded batting Seiya Suzuki. Is it just me or are this year's Giants terrible at taking advantage of L-R matchups, at least on the pitching side? If you are looking for a bright spot, 4 relievers, Hentges, Walker, Dylan Smith and Kilian pitched a scoreless frame each while allowing a total of 3 hits and 0 walks, although Hentges and Walker both hit a batter.
Defense: Adames kicked a ball 8'th inning for his 12'th error, second highest among qualified shortstops. His Fangraphs Def is -6.1, worst among qualified SS's.
I don't remember a team with a bigger gap between the whole and the sum of it's parts and not in a good way. This is just a very bad team and it's not completely clear why. In any given game it's truly debatable whether the hitting or the pitching was worse. It's gotten to the point where Kruk and Kuip sound completely disgusted in game after game, making you wonder if they know things they aren't saying.
Logan Webb RHP tries to stave off a series sweep today facing Ryan Rolison LHP who comes in with a 2.25 ERA.
