Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers lineup were to much for Landen Roupp and the Giants pitchers and the Giants lineup wilted in the triple digit temperatures at Camelback Ranch. Key Lines:
Victor Bericoto RF- 1 for 1, HR(3). BA= .457. The Giants lineup managed just 4 hits and Bericoto's home run over the batter's eye in CF was the only one that did damage. His 3 homers leads the Giants on the spring.
Landen Roupp RHP- 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.15. Roupp is the type of pitcher who probably does not match up well against this Dodgers lineup and he's far from alone in that. Looking back this may be a pretty good start agains them.
Keaton Winn RHP(6.14), Joey Lucchesi LHP(4.50) and Erik Miller LHP(0.00) pitched shutout innings. Trevor McDonald RHP got nicked for a 2-run HR by Nick Senzel.
The game was mercifully called after 8 innings.
Logan Webb RHP takes the mound on the road against the Rockies at 6:00 PM. The Giants prospects take on the Red prospects on TV in Scottsdale with Keyner Martinez RHP getting the start there.
Some smack down!
ReplyDeleteOne game means nothing and even less in preseason, and no one ever thought SF matched up with LA, plus sans Devers, Arráez, Bader, and Lee, they didn't put their best foot forward, so maybe there was reason not to try to win, but preseason has taken a very dark turn as this effort, exactly one week before Opening Day at home with NYY, against the supposed hated rival, is wake of time for the Faithful!

It looked to me like nobody really wanted to be out there in that heat, but we all know the current Giants are no match for the Dodgers H2H.
