The Giants followed the same playbook as Sunday's game. Get a run(or two) on the board early and let the pitchers shut it down the rest of the way. Game Notes:
The big blows were a 2-out double by Evan Longoria 3B in the third inning followed by a blast from Brandon Belt 1B. Belt got a very late start to spring training so a slow start was not unexpected. He seems to be coming out of that with 2 doubles and 2 HR's in his last 3 games.
Giants ace, Kevin Gausman RHP was not his sharpest today allowing a total of 10 baserunners in 6 IP, but he savvily navigated his way through the congestion on the bases to record 6 innings of shutout ball on 108 pitches. I'd say that qualifies as a day's work and a Quality Start. Gausman has an ERA of 2.34 through 4 Starts.
The bullpen shut it down once again, this time for 3 IP 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. Matt Wisler RHP pitched a scoreless 7'th inning. Camilo Doval RHP kept the good vibes going with another scoreless inning, albeit with no K's. Wandy Peralta LHP got the Save Opp and didn't blow it. It was his second Save of the season to go with 2 W's. Hmm....That's actually a valuable fantasy baseball asset there!

Before the game, the Giants sent Chadwick Tromp C and Steven Duggar CF out and brought up Trevor Gott RHP and Sam Selman LHP. Neither of them got into the game. There will have to be another move tomorrow if Logan Webb RHP comes off the COVID IL as expected to start game 2 of the series against Zach Wheeler RHP.
