Daniel Susac's third home run in 2 games keyed the Giants lineup in support of Robbie Ray's Quality Start in what might be the last game of this year's Giants team as we know it. Key Lines:
Heliot Ramos LF- 1 for 4, BB, SB(3), R. BA= .267. After many years of a different LF every season, Ramos stabilized LF and has been Mr. Consistent. He is arbitration eligible for 2027 but should remain affordable until he hits free agency before the 2030 season. He would seem to align with the Mariners need for a RH batter to bring back a mid-rotation SP, Emerson Hancock, whose contract is controlled until 2031. Do the Giants have enough OF help coming up in the minors to make that trade?
Bryce Eldridge DH- 2 for 5. BA= .253. Eldridge is batting just .154 over his last 7 games, .200 over his last 15 and .209 over his last 30, although he hit 3, 6 and 10 HR's over those same splits respectively.
Rafael Devers 1B- 3 for 4, SF, R, RBI. BA= .248. Devers is batting .346 over his last 7 games but only .214 over his last 15.
Daniel Susac C- 1 for 3, HR(3), SF, R, 3 RBI. BA= .258. Second consecutive big game for Susac who drives in 3 of the Giants 4 runs. Not sure where I can find a game-by-game WAR tracker but Susac's is up to 1.1 and I am sure much of that accumulated in the last 2 games.
Robbie Ray LHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.08. Most likely Ray's last game in Giants uniform. There is no reason for the Giants to not trade him for whatever they can get back before Monday's trade deadline. He should be worth a fringe top 100 prospect.
Luis Arraez went 0 for 4 and acted like he thought this was probably his last game as a Giant as he had hugs for Ron Washington after the game.
Caleb Kilian RHP(4.36), Dylan Smith RHP(2.50) and Erik Miller LHP(2.78) pitched a scoreless inning each to finish out the game with Miller collecting his 4'th Save and it seems like Tony Vitello has finally found a trio of relievers to protect leads after 6 innings.
Carson Whisenhunt LHP faces Bradgley Rodriguez RHP who comes in with a ERA of 2.33 tonight in a game broadcast on Apple TV. Ugh!
Heliot is a Good Giant, seems to love being one and is a leader even if young. Keep him!
