The Giants got a strong start from Adrian Houser and run support from the bottom of the lineup carrying them to their second win in a row over the Dodgers at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium. What the.....? Key Lines:
Jung Hoo Lee RF- 2 for 5, 2B, 2 RBI. Lee's 2-out, 2-run double in the 7'th drove in two insurance runs to give the Giants a 6-2 lead. He has a 5-game hit streak, 10 for 25, after a 2 for 22 start to the month.
Willy Adames SS- 2 for 4, R. BA= .222. Adames is 7 for 15 over his last 3 games.
Harrison Bader CF- 1 for 2, HR(2), R, RBI. BA= .136. Bader's last HR came on March 31 in San Diego. Bader and Eric Haase went B2B with solo HR's in the 5'th inning.
Eric Haase C- 2 for 4, 2 HR(2), 2 R, 2 RBI. BA= .333. Once upon a time Haase was one of hte better power-hitting catchers in MLB. This was a great game for that power to show up again.
Drew Gilbert PH/CF- 1 for 2, R, RBI. BA= .239. Gilbert came in as a PH for Bader in the 7'th with runners on first and third, apparently for the express purpose of putting down a squeeze bunt which worked. Gilbert then came around to score on Lee's double.
Adrian Houser RHP- 5.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 5.79. Houser fell one out short of a Quality Start. His composite line over his last 2 starts is 11.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 7 K's.
Caleb Kilian RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GO/AO, Save(2). ERA= 1.40. Kilian got credit for a Save coming in with a 4-run lead because he entered the game with the bases-loaded and two out in the 8'th inning. Andy Pages lined out to end that inning then Kilian breezed through the 9'th.
Robbie Ray LHP tries to clinch a series win tonight against Shohei Ohtani RHP.
6 RBIs came from batting order positions 8, 9, & 1
ReplyDelete0 RBIs, 7 LOB from batting order positions 2 - 7
I remain in a euphoric daze in contemplating the Gilbert bunt. I love good bunts.
ReplyDeleteI know the numbers guys assure us that bunts are counter productive. They also assure us that there’s no such thing as a hot streak when shooting basketballs. The numbers prove it.
Eldridge may not be getting hits but, it was more bad luck yesterday, at some point those balls will reach the field.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff all around even from my boys HAUSER and GILBERT...Maybe give Chappy a few more breathers now and then? :)...Awesome to see some seldom seen power..Haase almost had 3! That would have been cool..
ReplyDeleteGiants roster defeinetly has some log jam sat 1B/DH and C/DH (once SUSAC come up)...I know JROD can play multiple positions..but.....to bad he can't play SS!
