Ross Stripling RHP pitched his second consecutive Quality Start but once again it resulted in a Giants loss as once again their offense consisted of a single solo HR, this time by Wilmer Flores DH in the 6'th inning.
The thing is, this should have been an off-day at home for the Giants. This was a makeup game for a rainout on the Giants early season trip to Detroit in which it did not rain! So that game was needlessly postponed and instead of getting a nice day off to R&R at home they have to play a single game tacked onto an exhausting road trip then go right into a home game tomorrow evening. IDK how these things work but I think the Giants should file a formal grievance against the Tigers and the Players should lodge a complaint with the MLBPA.
Remarkably the Giants are still tied with 2 other teams for the final two Wild Card playoff spots. Not sure how the tiebreakers figure in.
The Giants start a 2 game series against the A's in Oracle Park tomorrow evening with the SP's for both games TBD before they finally get a desperately needed off-day at home on Thursday.
