The Giants Continued to win with dominant pitching and letting the other team make the mistakes. Game Notes:
The undisputed star of this game was Logan Webb RHP who seems to be slowly but surely fine tuning his overwhelmingly nasty stuff. He was a bit wild in the first inning giving up a couple of walks, a WP and passed ball while allowing an unearned run. From that point on, he allowed just 3 more hits and no walks while striking out 10. David Dahl opened the 7'th with a HR and that was it for Webb, but what a start! He is definitely stated his case to not be the odd man out of the rotation when it is a full strength.
Mike Tauchman CF went 0 for 1 with 3 walks from the leadoff spot. He started a 2-run rally in the bottom of the first inning with a walk.
Mike Yastrzemski RF doubled in Tauchman and later scored on Brandon Belt 1B's single all in the first inning.
Belt came out of the game later for tightness in his left side, something that has reportedly been bothering him for awhile. Giants are optimistic he will make his next start on Thursday.
The Giants scored 2 unearned runs in the 6'th inning to give them the cushion to coast to a win.
Jake McGee LHP notched his 10'th Save in 11 opportunities with a perfect 9'th inning and seems to have his game back on track.

The Win keeps the Giants 2 games ahead of the Padres in the NL West with the Dodgers still in progress against the Mariners. Personally, I am in awe of what the Giants are doing right now.

The Giants have a travel day tomorrow for an 8 game road trip starting in Pittsburgh Thursday, May 13 with Anthony DeSclafani RHP facing Wil Crowe RHP to start a 4 game series. The second leg of the trip is a 4-gamer against the Reds in Cincy.

A's are threatening to follow the Raiders to Las Vegas. They can't go soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I've always felt like the A's diluted the fanbase for the Giants when they moved from KC to Oakland in the late 60's. While that is probably not true anymore, I still haven't gotten over it.

Down on the Farm:
AAA:
Jason Krizan 1B- 1 for 4, HR(1), BB. BA= .273.
Chadwick Tromp C- 2 for 3, HR(1), BB. BA= .235.
Drew Robinson RF- 2 for 3, 2B, HR(1), BB. BA= .188.
Mitchell Tolman 3B- 1 for 4, HR(2). BA= .333.
Krizan had a nice spring training and is now continuing those good vibes in AAA. Positioned for a future callup if a need arises. Robinson has a nice game after a rough start to the season.
AA:
Jacob Heyward LF- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(1). BA= .500.
David Villar 3B- 2 for 4, HR(3). BA= .269.
Sam Long LHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 5.14.
Ronnie Williams RHP- 3.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 1.35.
Villar hits his 3'rd HR in game 7 of the season. Ronnie Williams was another minor league waiver claim over the offseason from the Cardinals organization.
Low A:
Luis Matos CF- 1 for 4, HR(1). BA= .280.
Armani Smith LF- 2 for 4. BA= .429.
Alexander Canario RF- 1 for 4, HR(1), Assist. BA= .300.
Casey Schmitt DH- 1 for 4, HR(2). BA= .143.
Ryan Murphy RHP- 4.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 11 K's. ERA= 3.12.
Murphy was the Giants 5'th round draft pick in 2020 out of LeMoyne. Giants liked his pitch mix and saw upside in velocity.
High A Eugene Emeralds were idle.
