The Giants used some right-handed pop and a dandy start from Anthony DeSclafani to subdue the Diamondbacks. Happy Fourth of July! Austin Slater and Darin Ruf each had a big fly, and Ruf added an RBI double as well. Buster Posey had an RBI hit and also walked in front of Ruf's homer. Buster got dinged in the 6th on a foul ball and had to leave but it seems nothing is busted and he'll be available off the bench tomorrow. DeSclafani had a shot at his third CG but gave up a run on two hits in the 9th and Tyler Rogers had to get the final out. He struck out seven and gave up six hits and two walks in his 8-2/3 IP, throwing 107 pitches to 31 batters.
It's a home game tomorrow afternoon against the Cardinals at 3:05 PT. Kevin Gausman gets the start.
Go Giants!

I can see opposing managers checking Slater's bat. But I guess if Altuve can hit some balls over 400 feet, there is no reason why Slater can't hit some balls close to 500 feet. Lets hope that the current iteration of the giants are not tortured by Goldschmidt and/or Arenado, or any other Cardinal.
Sammy Long to IL, Tromp called up to give the team a just in case catcher if Posey’s injured hand proves troublesome.
Who will take Long's slot in the rotation?
They called up Tromp.
