A home run by Rafael Devers and clutch hitting from Bryce Eldridge and Turner Hill gave the Giants enough runs to squeak out an extra-innings win over the Buccos. Key Lines:
Rafael Devers 1B- 2 for 3, HR(32), 2 BB, 2 R, RBI. BA= .254. Devers is on one of his hot streaks and he is certainly carrying the team right now. Here's what he's doing: He's production is taking pressure off the kids so they don't feel like they have to do too much. There are many situations where a single or double or sac fly or a walk gets the job done, especially if they can do it with some consistency.
Bryce Eldridge DH- 1 for 3, 2B, BB, SF, 2 RBI. BA= .263. Case in point, Eldridge drove in one run with a Sac Fly, then with runners at first and second with one out in the 10'th he just poked one down the LF line driving in the lead run and putting runners at 2'nd and 3'rd setting up Turner Hill for another sac fly for the insurance run they needed.
Turner Hill LF- 1 for 4, SF, 2 RBI. BA= .333. In addition to his game-winning RBI on the sac fly, Hill followed up Eldrige's sac fly with a 2-out RBI single in the 5'th inning.
Landen Roupp RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.17. Roupp has allowed just 2 runs in 10 IP over his last two starts.
Dylan Smith RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(4). ERA= 3.13. Smith got the first batter in the 10'th, Nick Gonzalez to reach for one but Gonzalez was able to poke it through a hole up the middle to drive in the designated runner. From there, Smith looked like a real Closer blowing 97 MPH gas at the top of the zone and busting it in on the hands backed by an off-the-table splitter which you could see clearly on TV slo-mo had almost no rotation and tumbled straight down just as it approached home plate.
Blade Tidwell RHP goes for a series win in a game that starts at 9:35 AM PDT facing swingman Lake Bachar RHP who comes in with an ERA of 3.70.
