Alex Cobb threw six dominant innings in San Francisco tonight and gave the Giants a chance to win. They scratched out a run on a Casey Schmitt sacrifice fly in the 5th to take a 1-0 lead but couldn't hold it. Tyler Rogers, in his second inning of work, gave up a two-out RBI hit to JJ Bleday in the 8th to tie the game. Fortunately Mike Yastrzemski flashed his Veteran Savvy Clutchness with an RBI double in the bottom half to regain the lead. Camilo Doval struck out the side in the 9th to make it stand.
Whew! The team desperately needed a win. They got a win. That's good. That's very good.
Tomorrow night's game is at 6:45 PT.
Go Giants!

p.s. RIP Mike Ivie who died last week at age 70. He was the first pick of the 1970 draft (Padres). Ivie's two best seasons (1978-1979) were with the Giants. He was traded to the Astros in 1981 for Dave Bergman and Jeffrey Leonard.
