It was like Candlestick Park East today in Sacramento as the Giants and A's played in gale force winds blowing from left to right. Adrian Houser pitched a Quality Start and the lineup broke open a 2-1 game with an 8-run 8'th inning to win a game that was a lot closer than the final score looked. Key Lines:
Harrison Bader CF- 1 for 4, HR(4), BB, 2 R, 4 RBI. BA= .153. Bader bounced back from a tough last night and capped off the scoring with a wind-aided grand slam home run to RF. Bader is batting .250 since coming off the IL but has hit 3 HR's in his last 4 games and just missed one last night.
Luis Arraez 2B- 3 for 4, HR(2), BB. BA= .328. Arraez started the Giants scoring with a wind-aided fly down the RF line that cleared the fence in the third inning.
Casey Schmitt DH- 2 for 5, R. BA= .297. Schmitt continues to show consistency in his hitting with two singles after a huge night at the plate.
Matt Chapman 3B- 2 for 4, 2 2B, BB, R, RBI. BA= .223. Two hard-hit doubles for Chapman so maybe he is finally breaking out of his slump?
Adrian Houser RHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 3 K's, 8/1 GO/AO. ERA= 5.25. The walks are ugly but Houser made up for it by keeping the ball on the ground and getting a couple of GIDP's. Houser now has 2 QS out of his last 3 starts with the other falling 1 out short of a third QS in a row. That's the pitcher the Giants hoped they were signing this offseason. Can he keep it going?
Sam Hentges LHP, Keaton Winn RHP and Joel Peguero RHP pitched a scoreless inning each.
