The Giants ran into the Sunday Afternoon End Of Road Trip Blues and dropped a game they should have won. Key Lines:
The lineup went a combined 0 for 11 with RISP and left 10 runners on base. That is all you need to know about the hitting side.
Robbie Ray LHP- 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 2.86. A Quality Start but a falter in the 5'th inning ending in a 3-spot for the Nationals was too much with zero run support.
The Loss dropped the Giants into a last place tie with the Rockies in the NL West but they remain 6.5 games behind the Dodgers because the Rockies beat the Hated Ones. The Giants also dropped a half game in the Wild Card race and trail by 4. There are 7 teams in MLB with worse records than the Giants including the Phillies, Mets, Blue Jays, Red Sox and Astros.
The Giants get 4/20 off. Hmmmm....... They start a 3-game series against the Dodgers on Tuesday with Landen Roupp RHP trying to win Game 1 against TBD.
I don't live in the Bay area but saw an article on the internet Tuesdays game might get rained out, rare for oracle park.
