The Giants could hardly conjure up a hit on Saturday, losing to the A's 2-1 and wasting one of Ross Stripling's better efforts. Today the offense finally woke up, scoring six runs and taking a 6-3 lead after five frames. But Oakland's lineup chased Alex Cobb and tagged relievers Luke Jackson and Scott Alexander for late runs and it finished 8-6 A's. It's as if the teams switched places: the A's played like contenders and the Giants played like also-rans.
The Giants go south to take on the Angels for three with all games starting at 6:38 Pacific. Logan Webb gets the start tomorrow night.
Go Giants!

Giants are now tied with Philly for the first wild card team. They are, according to the Athletic, .557 against contending teams, defined as teams over .500. That is the third best of any team, but they are .540 against teams that have a record poorer than .500. That is the worst of any team, and just so Giants. Maybe that's a good thing given their upcoming schedule? I think they are going to need to score runs.
