Game Wrap 4/20/2022: Giants 5 Mets 2

 The Giants ran up a 5-0 lead behind 5 innings of shutout pitching from Carlos Rodon LHP and coasted the rest of the way to get back on the winning side of the W-L ledger.  

Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 5.  BA= .200.  Maybe a couple of singles is what YtY needs to get going?  Unfortunately he got thrown out at 2B trying to stretch one into a double.

Brandon Belt DH- 1 for 3, HR(4), BB.  BA= .282.  Belt homers on his birthday.  

Joc Pederson LF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .333.  Pederson stays hot.  So far, he's been the bargain of the offseason after what seemed like almost a desperation signing by the Giants. 

Joey Bart C- 0 for 4, 3 K's, Throw Out(Starling Marte at 2B).  BA= .207.   The K's are really starting to pile up for Bart.  He still made a big contribution to this win by gunnnning down Marte, who is no slouch at stealing bases, like he was playing catch with 2B.

Carlos Rodon LHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 1.06.  95 is a lot of pitches for 5 innings but if Rodon pitches 150 innings over 30 starts with a 1.06 ERA, the Giants will consider his contract a bargain.

Giants try for a series split in an early game tomorrow with Anthony DeSclafani RHP facing Carlos Carrasco RHP.
