Game Wrap 4/30/2019: Dodgers 10 Giants 3

A 6-run Dodgers outburst against Ty Blach buried the Giants.  Key Lines:

Buster Posey C- 1 for 3, 2B.  BA= .250.   Buster is hitting .346 over his last 7 games.

Brandon Belt 1B- 1 for 3, 3B.  BA= .237.  Belt is hitting .317 over his last 7 games.

Drew Pomeranz LHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 3 K.  ERA= 4.08.  Pomeranz sailed through the first 3 innings but started the 4'th by walking leadoff hitter, Justin Turner.  After a Cody Bellinger groundball single, David Freeze hit a 3-run dinger.  Pomeranz retired the next 3 batters to get out of the inning but did not go back out for the 5'th.

Ty Blach LHP- 3.1 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 3 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 18.90.  So Blach was brought up as a bridge from Derek Holland going on the DL to Tyler Beede starting this Friday.  The Giants were likely looking at his record against the Dodgers, but all that SSS goodness went poof!  He has options so they will probably just option him back an keep him in the organization for depth, but man, if you can't trust him against the Dodgers, I'm not sure what other use he has.  I could see this appearance being his last at the MLB level for the Giants.

*********************************************************************************

The Loss dropped the last place Giants 7 games behind the NL West leading Dodgers and 5 games off the Wild Card pace.

Madison Bumgarner tries to get some traction on his season and get the Giants a series win in the rubber match tomorrow night facing Hyun-Jin Ryu.

Good news on the injury front as Steven Duggar was in the starting lineup and Johnny Cueto threw his first bullpen session since undergoing TJ surgery last season.
