The Giants have never been a great Getaway Day team and they showed up to this one flatter than a pancake, so to speak. Well, Andrew Suarez was a gamer, but came out after 5 innings for a PH because the Giants were trailing 2-0, so missed out an a chance for a QS. After that it was blowout time. Key Lines:
Brandon Crawford SS- 1 for 4, HR(14). BA= .256. Crawford has put up pretty much the same season as last year, which is disappointing but probably about what we should expect in future seasons. His 14'th HR came in garbage time long after the outcome of the game was in doubt.
Andrew Suarez LHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.22. Suarez was just 2 pitches over the 5-inning target of 75, but with the Giants trailing and possibly wanting to limit Andrew's innings just a bit, Bochy brought in PH to lead off the top of the 6'th. Suarez continues to state his case for inclusion in the Giants projected starting rotation for 2019.
