Game Wrap 4/19/2014: Padres 3 Giants 1

The Giants flushed another strong starting pitching performance down the drain as the offense again failed to produce.  Key Lines:

Michael Morse- 1 for 3, HR(3).  BA= .302

Tim Hudson- 7 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K.  ERA= 2.40.  Huddy pitches at least 7 more innings without issuing a walk for his 4'th consecutive start.  I think ties somebody for a record.  Alas, it was in a losing cause!

The top 3 hitters in the lineup, Pagan, Pence and Posey went  combined 0 for 12.  Can't win with that!

The loss dropped the Giants record to 10-8.  The Dodgers outlasted the D'Backs 8-6 to go 1 game up in the NL West at 11-7.

Tim Lincecum tries to be the stopper of a 3 game losing streak facing lefty Robbie Erlin tomorrow afternoon.

  1. From the AP story on SFGate.com:

    "Hudson joins Grover Cleveland Alexander (six games in 1923) and Tiny Bonham (four games in 1944) as the only starting pitchers in the last 101 seasons to open a season by throwing four games of at least seven innings while not issuing a walk. ... Hudson has set the franchise record with 30 innings without a walk to open a season. ..."

    Bummer to lose another series to a team we should beat. Hopefully Timmah can avoid the sweep with an Easter win!
