The Giants fell behind right away and never got it going against Julio Urias and the result was a lopsided loss. The bullpen opener (Jay Jackson) and tail-ender (Sam Long) both got clobbered, but otherwise the rest of the relief corps pitched well. It's too bad the Giants ran out of pitching this weekend, it would have been better to have Alex Wood or Johnny Cueto (or both) available, but you play with the guys you've got. I'm not sure what the sequence will be this afternoon (game time 4:08 PT, ESPN) but they'll have to execute better right out of the gate. It's going to be tough against Walker Buehler who is right up there with Corbin Burnes as a CYA candidate. The Giants will be seeing Buehler for the fifth time this season so maybe they can find an opening. The lineup has struggled to score runs despite creating lots of chances and today they'll need to deliver some big-stick action.
The two best teams will be fighting for first place--you can't ask for more than that.
GO GIANTS!
BEAT LA!!
