Game Wrap 9/17/2020: Giants 6 Mariners 4

 The Giants overcame a Mariners 4-spot in the second inning for another come-from-behind win as the visiting team in Oracle Park.  Key Lines:

Mike Yastrzemski RF- 0 for 1.  BA= .285.  YtY tweaked his calf on a swing in a first-inning AB.  He later felt tightness in the dugout after a long run for a foul pop-up. He's schedule for an MRI.  Keep fingers crossed!

Luis Alexander Basabe RF- 1 for 2, 2 BB, SB(1).  BA= .333.  Basabe replaced YtY, got on base 3 times and recorded his first MLB SB.  While his BA's tended to run in the .250's in the minor leagues, he also maintained OBP's about .100 higher.

Wilmer Flores 1B- 2 for 4, 3B, BB.  BA= .288.  Flores was brought in to destroy LHP's, which he has done, but he's also hit RHP's very well.  His 2-run triple came off Kendall Graveman RHP.  

Darin Ruf LF- 1 for 2, HR(4).  BA= .297.  Another guy who was brought in to destroy LHP's.  He's also done that, but has done even better against RHP's.  This HR came of lefty Nick Margevicius.  

Mauricio Dubon CF- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .292.  Dubon is hitting .318 since an 0 for 10 to start the season.

Tyler Anderson LHP- 2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.06.  Anderson came out for the 3'rd inning despite giving up a 4-spot in the 2'nd.  He threw one pitch and barked at the ump and got tossed.

Wandy Peralta LHP- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.91.  Longest stint of the season for Peralta who has an ERA of 0.96 over 9.1 IP over his last 7 appearances.

Sam Selman LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 2.70.  Selman converts his first Save Op of the season as Kap continues to rotate his Closers.

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

With the Win, the Giants moved back over .500 at 25-24 good for 6'th place in the NL with 8 teams making the playoffs.

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

The Giants start another interleague set against cross-bay rivals, the A's, with Logan Webb RHP facing Chris Bassitt RHP in the opener tonight.

    1. Sam Selman is a guy I have kept my eye on over the years since he came out of Vanderbilt. Very versatile pitchers who could probably be stretched out and start if he had too....or close like he did here.
