This game was competitive, at least on the pitching side, until the 7'th inning when a pair of auditioning relievers, Trent Harris RHP and Reiver Sanmartin LHP gave up a 6-spot. The Giants lineup managed just 3 baserunners in the entire game. Key Lines:
Landen Roupp RHP- 5.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.22. 3 of the 5 walks came in the 6'th and the run came in when reliever Keaton Winn walked a 4'th batter in the inning. Other than that, it was Roupp's best start out of this last 3. I didn't see the game because it wasn't shown on Fox down here in SoCal but I've read there was some sort of disrespect from Roupp when Manager Tony Vitello took him out. If so, Roupp might have had a point because he got out of a base-loaded jam in the 2'nd inning and he was only at 85 pitches, although taking him out is what most managers would do in that situation.
The 7'th inning meltdown was exacerbated by a fly ball Drew Gilbert CF lost in the Sun with his shades on his hat.
In the immortal words of Taylor Swift, the Giants will try to shake it off and win the series today with Logan Webb RHP facing Troy Melton RHP who comes in with a 1.58 ERA.

9th Smith singled to right, Yastrzemski scored.
What is Gilbert doing in the lineup? We know what he is -- 4th OFer, Need to give McCray and/or Cox a long runway to see what we have. Vitello needs to stop patonizing these Tenn hotdogs.
