Last night the Giants eked out a 2-1 in the 10th inning when Charlie Blackmon failed to scoop a single in right field and allowed the magic runner to score. Blackmon hit the three-run pinch-homer in Tuesday's game that provided the winning margin. He had three hits today in a deflating 4-2 Rockies win. Enough already about that guy, he's been a thorn in the Giants side for a decade.
Alex Wood pitched well last night and that keyed the win. Today Logan Webb looked strong but his fielders let him down. Thairo Estrada made two errors in the 4th and Austin Slater added one of his own and that led to three runs. The lineup could only manage two runs in each of the two games against the last place team in the division. The Giants were lucky to get a win at all. FNG Austin Wynns started at catcher and had two hits and drove in a run.
The Giants owned the Rockies last season and they won the first five games against them this season. It felt like Colorado had something to prove in this three-game set--they certainly kept the Giants in check. The Dodgers come to town for three starting tomorrow night at 7:15 Pacific. Jakob Junis takes the hill against Walker Buehler. Junis is currently the best pitcher on the team! Another under-the-radar move from FZ & Co. that's paying off big time. Let's hope the team plays better this weekend.
Go Giants!
