Landen Roupp and two relievers shut down the Mariners while Bryce Eldridge and Willy Adames powered the lineup and the Giants ended up cruising to an easy win. Key Lines:
Bryce Eldridge DH- 1 for 5, HR(9), R, 2 RBI. BA= .269. Eldridge broke the scoreless tie in the 5'th with a 2-run HR.
Jung Hoo Lee RF- 3 for 4, HBP, 2 R. BA= .307. Lee's 103 hit ties him for 12'th in MLB. His .307 BA is 6'th.
Willy Adames SS- 1 for 5, HR(16), R, 4 RBI. BA= .229. Adames grand slam HR capped the Giants scoring in the 7'th inning. The Giants lead MLB with 8 grand slam home runs on the season. On the downside, Adames committed his 14'th error which ties him for second highest by shortstops in MLB.
Drew Cavanaugh C- 2 for 2, 2 BB, R. BA= .265. Interesting that Susac was activated before the game and Eric Haase DFA'd but Cavanaugh started at catcher against the RHP. They may now be in a strict L-R platoon.
Casey Schmitt 3B- 2 for 5, SB(8), R. BA= .282. Schmitt has a 5-game hit streak with 3 2-hit games.
Landen Roupp RHP- 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K's, 13/3 GO/AO. ERA= 3.98. 4 of Roupp's last 5 starts were Quality Starts. This was his first scoreless start since his first on March 30.
Jason Foley RHP and Caleb Kilian RHP pitched clean 8'th and 9'th innings respectively.
Logan Webb RHP comes back from not playing in the All-Star game to face Bryan Woo RHP who comes in with a 4.23 ERA.
Giants 6th 3-wins-in-a-row, going for their 1st 4-game winning streak this evening.
ReplyDeleteFoley looked promising in his first MLB appearance in years, albeit a low-stress setting. If he can string a handful of those together over the next couple of weeks he might generate some sudden trade value.
ReplyDeleteSchmitt is an every day 3B for most teams. If can't trade Chapman, why not trade Schmitt? Should bring back good return. 30 HR & GG fielding quality, and now stealing bases -- would suck to see him go, but if could get top 100 minor leaguers back &/or try pairing him with Devers to make cumulative contract set more reasonable for someone swallowing
ReplyDeletea team this far under .500 can't have a super meaningful game but today's game might be that game. not in pursuit of a wild card but to show themselves and Giants fans that despite the record and a rookie manager that they came to the park to compete. -es
