This time, the home run Trevor Gott gave up in the 9'th inning ended the game in a walkoff. BTW, 9'th innings home runs given up by Trevor Gott have beaten the Giants in 3 of the last 4 games. Key Lines:
Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .310. The YtY story rolls on. His 2-out double in the 6'th drove in the tying and go-ahead runs to get up the 9'th inning walkoff loss.
Brandon Belt 1B- 1 for 4, HR(3). BA= .191. Second HR in as many days for Belt.
Mauricio Dubon CF- 2 for 4, SB(2). BA= .267. Is Dubon establishing himself as a Keeper? He's hitting .308 over his last 7 games and .310 over his last 15.
Tyler Anderson LHP- 5 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 8 K's. ERA= 4.84. Terrific peripherals from Anderson. Keep an eye on him. He's still arbitration-eligible for one more season.
Trevor Gott RHP- 0.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 14.73. This was the third appearance in a row in which Gott gives up at least one ninth inning HR and fails to complete the inning. I would hope this is the last we see of him in the Closer role for awhile. He needs to regroup in lower leverage situations. And to think my storyline before this meltdown was going to be about how bad the Angels bullpen is!

Trevor Cahill RHP goes for a split of the two-game series in the heat this afternoon facing Dylan Bundy RHP.
Tough last 4 games for the team. Feel sorry for Trevor Gott, a good reliever living a nightmare.
