Giants Snap Streak

SF 3  MIA 1
The Giants got a good start from Tyler Beede and scored a run in the 7th and two in the 8th to win. They were down 1-0 after the 2nd but Beede's performance kept them in the game. The bullpen trio of Reyes Moronta, Tony Watson, and Will Smith did their thing and the Giants finally got a win in Miami. The kid threw six, facing 24 batters and throwing 96 pitches. Five hits and three walks kept him on his toes but he got it done. Let's see some more of that!

Yesterday's loss, I should note, was the 54th game. That is one-third of the way through the season. Here's the Giants performance through those first three seasonal innings:

1st inning: 8-10
2nd inning: 8-10
3rd inning: 5-13 

There was still some hope when they were 16-20, but a seven-game losing streak puts a damper on such things. I'd like to see a seven-game winning streak at some point in the season, but the best they managed last season was five and the season before that it was six.

Regardless, the Giants won today and start their next 18-game inning with a 1-0 record. Drew Pomeranz gets another shot, this time in Baltimore, tomorrow at 4:05 Pacific.

Go Giants!

I see a staff with Beede, Anderson, Rodriguez, Bumgarner, and perhaps Suarez, but maybe Pomerantz, Samardijah, Holland, could be a part of it.

Pomeranz, Anderson, Smardj for the 3 games in Baltimore. TBD after that but I'd expect Bum to pitch in New York on Tues the 4th. Then it would be Beede's turn.
