The Giants are obviously keeping a tight rein on their pitching draftees.  For all we know there may be certain pitches they are not allowing them to throw until next year.  At least that's what I will tell myself until next season.

Rookie AZL  Giants Orange blanked the D'Backs 4-0:

Yorlis Rodriguez 3B- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .323.
Fabian Pena C- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(5).  BA= .309.

Travis Perry RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 3.50.

In his final 2 Starts, Jacob Lopez pitches a total of 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 16 K's.  He's a SoCal Juco pitcher who was scouted by Baseball Census before the draft, so there's a rooting interest there.

AZL regular season ends tonight.  Neither Giants squad makes the playoffs.
