There was at least something to Smyly about tonight, and that is the return of southpaw Drew Smyly, who was popping 96 on the gun and whiffing Padres left and right in relief of Trevor Cahill. The Padres high-powered offense made short work of Cahill, scoring three in the 1st and one in the 3rd, and that was enough. Then they ran out one tough reliever after another and smothered the Giants hitting attack.
The Giants face a big challenge on this road trip. Getting Drew Smyly back could be a big help. I suspect he will get a start in Seattle. Johnny Cueto gets the start tomorrow evening (6:10 PDT) against Garrett Richards.
Go Giants!

p.s. Justin Smoak did indeed join the active roster and take Pablo Sandoval's spot. Activating Smyly also sent down Rico Garcia.

Dodgers lost to the D-Backs last night but the news is that Mookie Betts played second base. I guess he was an IF in the minors and has been taking ground balls regularly in practice this season. I guess they have a surplus of OFs in LA and they are preparing for injuries or weird playoff shit or something. One of the best players in the game is playing a new position. That is not something we saw a lot of in the 'good old days.'
