David Villar 2B hit a booming double on the first major league pitch he saw and added an RBI single but little else went right in this game as poor fielding exacerbated poor pitching leading to a runaway win for the D'Backs.
Not much else to say about this one. Yermin Mercedes DH added 2 hits, a single and double that did not figure into the scoring.
Curt Casali C came out of the game in the middle of an PA with an oblique strain. He'll have an MRI but expect him to miss significant time. If Casali goes on the IL as we might expect, Does Mercedes help with the catching or does Joey Bart get called back up?

Alex Wood LHP gets the start tomorrow as the Giants try to break a 5-game losing streak against Tyler Gilbert LHP.
Pavs has some quotes from a disgruntled Giant: "I think something needs to change," Rodón said. "I think we're playing really bad baseball. You could say as much as you want, you know, but until we physically do something and make a change, I don't think we're going to see any results."

Is there any hope that their fortunes will improve before the trade deadline 4 weeks away?
Should the Giants be Buyers or Sellers?
Is trading for Help with the Youth Core that SF will desperately need by 2025 a good idea?
Do they have anyone playing now 30 or older they can Trade that will bring a Top-Anything Prospect?
IMHO: keep the Cream
