Game Wrap 6/27/2021: A's 6 Giants 2

The Giants gave a languid performance in their series finale agains the A's in a game that was not as close as the final score might make you think.  Game Notes:

There is really very little to say about this game.  Historically the Giants tend to struggle against pitchers they have not previously faced and against soft tossers.  Cole Irvin LHP had both factors going for him and became only the third SP to complete 7 innings against the Giants this season and the second to complete 8.   

Giants SP, Sammy Long LHP, did not pitch badly while overcoming a rocky first inning to get the game into the 6'th.  As weak as the Giants bats were against Irvin, it would have been tough to win this game no matter how well he pitched.

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

The Dodgers and Padres both won so the Loss cut the Giants lead in the NL West to 3.5 games over the Dodgers and 4.5 over the Padres.  The Giants maintain the best record in MLB.

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

The Giants travel south for a two game series against the division rival Dodgers tomorrow evening with Anthony DeSclafani RHP facing the hated Trevor Bauer RHP.

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

Logan Webb RHP threw a 20 pitch simulated game and is expected to start a rehab assignment from shoulder soreness soon.  No new news on Brandon Belt 1B but he is not expected to have a short stay on the IL.
