Snell swell; Giants walk it off
An errant pitch in the 9th capped a gritty comeback by the Giants and they snapped their two-game skid. They’ve played a nice stretch of ball lately: winning three of four from the Cubs, two of three from the Dodgers, and two of three from the Braves. Then they had three hard-fought close contests in Cleveland, just getting edged out and losing two of them to the best home team in baseball. If the Giants can go toe-to-toe with the Guardians and stand up to LA and Atlanta they are doing better than their record shows.
Last night was a breakthrough for our Thirty Million Dollar Man. Blake Snell went five scoreless allowing only one hit and three walks on what for him was a parsimonious 74 pitches. Let’s see some more of that!
Youngsters Heliot Ramos and Casey Fitzgerald both homered off Yusei Kikuchi (who was awesome, whiffing 13 in 7-2/3) and that fueled the comeback. Ryan Walker had a rare bad outing and the Giants trailed late but still pulled out a win. Brett Wisely had the game-tying hit in the 9th. There’s a nice youth core emerging on this club. Austin Slater got lost in the squeeze–the veteran OF was traded to the Reds for lefty reliever Alex Young.
I missed posting for the team’s 90th game or the end of the fifth seasonal inning. That was the loss on Saturday. Here’s the story so far:
They’ve gone 1-1 since then and their record after 92 contests is 45-47. That’s good for third place (tied with Arizona), ten back of the top and 2-1/2 games out of the Wild Card. Logan Webb and Heliot Ramos are All-Stars. It’s exciting to see Ramos put his game together.
Speaking of Webb, he goes tonight at 6:45 PT.
Go Giants!
