Big win takes series
Yesterday the Orioles answered for their ass-whuppin’ on Friday by smacking around the Giants to the tune of 11-1. This afternoon the Giants did not have to face Trevor Rogers and they reverted back to their winning streak ways with a barrage of hits and another double-digit run total. Heliot Ramos, Rafael Devers, and FNG Drew Gilbert all had three hits and scored two. Those are the 1, 2, and 9 hitters. I like having a good hitter at #9 who can act like a second leadoff man.
Justin Verlander needed 121 pitches to get through five innings but he did that in style with 10 strikeouts and no runs allowed. The O’s scored two in their final frame off Spencer Bivens who had pitched a scoreless 7th and 8th (Joey Lucchesi handled the 6th). It was a gritty effort from the veteran who notched his third “W” of the season. I don’t think the coaches would allow any other pitcher on the team—including Logan Webb—to throw 120+ pitches! But good for Verlander. It’s not like they are saving his arm for next year. Speaking of next year, do they offer JV a contract in the off-season?
The Giants finish the month of August with a 14-14 record. The club is 68-69 with 25 games remaining. They’ll need to win 14 games to finish with a better-than-.500 record. And they’ll have to keep the pesky D-backs at bay. Tomorrow’s game in Colorado is at 1:10 PT. I hope everyone has a restful and enjoyable Labor Day.
Go Giants!
