Trevor McDonald allowed just hit and one baserunner over 6 innings of shutout ball while Heliot Ramos and Victor Bericoto supplies the toonder in the lineup and the Giants avoided a series sweep. Key Lines:
Heliot Ramos RF- 2 for 4, 3B, HR(6), 2 R, 2 RBI. BA= .268. Ramos broke up a scoreless game in the 5'th with a mammoth 427 ft HR to CF. He followed that up an inning later with a drive to RF that deflected offf the glove of the RF onto the top of the fence then bounced back onto the field for an RBI triple. He then scored on Jung Hoo Lee's single.
Jung Hoo Lee CF/RF- 2 for 4, SB(6), 2 R, RBI. BA= .319. Tony Vitello went with a bat-first OF lineup with Lee in CF and Bericoto and Ramos on the corners. It paid off.
Victor Bericoto LF- 2 for 4, HR(4) R, 2 RBI. BA= .308. Bericoto backed up Ramos 5'th inning HR with a 422 ft, 2-run blast of his own. I've always believed in Bericoto's bat and it's becoming apparent he has prodigious power potential. Keep running him out there at least until he cools off.
Drew Cavanaugh C- 2 for 4, RBI. BA= .286. Cavanaugh has started 4 of 5 games since his call up.
Trevor McDonald RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.42. Since his poor start in Miami on 6/20, McDonald has allowed 3 R in 11.1 IP over his subsequent 2 starts.
Ryan Walker RHP- 0.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 0 K. ERA= 7.06. There was some poor defense in the 8'th inning but make no mistake, Walker got lit up. 3 of the 4 hits were line drives. Whether it's Tristan Beck, Spencer Bivens or Blade Tidwell, I think it's time to move on from Ryan Walker.
The Giants get a travel day to Colorado for a weekend series against the Rockies. With TBD facing TBD on Friday evening.
