A late Giants rally withered in the face of hundo-throwing Padres relievers and came up short. Key Lines:
Drew Gilbert CF- 2 for 4, HR(9), 2 R, 2 RBI. BA= .235. Gilbert singled to lead of the Giants half of the first inning and scored ahead of Devers HR. He then hit a 2-run HR of his own in that bounced on the sidewalk outside the stadium and bounced into McCovey Cove in the 8'th inning. That was when Padres Manager Craig Stammen summoned Adrian Morejon LHP and the hundos started humming past Giants hitters.
Rafael Devers DH- 1 for 4, HR(37), R, 2 RBI. Devers is rapidly closing in on 40 HR.
Shay Whitcomb 3B- 1 for 3, HR(4), R, RBI, E(3). BA= .163. Whitcomb has some size and has a nice looking swing. He is plagued by inconsistency. Hard to get a read on how much growth potential he has.
Drew Cavanaugh C- 1 for 3, HR(1), R, RBI. BA= .244. Cavanaugh had some power in the minors but this was his first MLB HR out of 31 hits. He also has 3 doubles, 2 of which came in one game, but he's mostly been a singles hitter. Maybe we'll start seeing him drive the ball more as he gets more comfortable at this level.
Cesar Perdomo LHP- 4.2 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 3.68. Perdomo was a gamer, kept battling and limiting the damage inning-by-inning but he also could not get a shut down inning and the runs added up. A case of a pitcher who relies on command not quite having it.
Logan Webb RHP tries to stave off a sweep today facing Nick Pivetta RHP who comes in with a 3.43 ERA. The game is at 4:20 PM PDT and is on Peacock TV. Ugh!

A grand slam home run by Rafael Devers was not enough to overcome a rough start by Anthony Molina. Key Lines:
Jonah Cox CF- 2 for 4, BB, SB(10), 2 R. BA= .286. Cox played the role of the classic leadoff hitter creating a run in the first inning. He singled to RF, stole 2B. After Devers popped out, Bryce Eldridge singled with Cox scoring from 2B. As the rest of the inning unfolded, Cox would not have scored without the SB.
Rafael Devers DH- 1 for 4, HR(36), BB, R, 4 RBI. BA= .258. Devers keeps his drive for 40 HR's alive. This one got the Giants back into the game and came off a LHP.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 2 for 5, 2B, RBI. BA= .270. 7 game hit streak, 19 game on-base streak.
Anthony Molina RHP- 3 IP, 9 H, 7 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 5.24. First inning looked good, at least on Gameday(I don't get Apple TV). Molina had a 97 MPH FB mixing in a slider, curve and changeup. He gave up a couple of runs in the second inning then the roof caved in in the 3'rd. Tipping pitches?
Yunior Marte RHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's, 7/3 GO/AO. ERA= 2.45. Marte and Molina are the type of pitchers the Giants need to rebuild their pitching staff around whether in starting or relieving roles. This is the second 5-inning relief appearance in a row for Marte.
Cesar Perdomo LHP will try to build on his early MLB success today facing Michael King RHP who comes in with an ERA of 3.00.
