This was a big win on the road against a tough club. The Giants are clinging to the edges of the race--ESPN gives them a less than 3% chance to make the playoffs. Just this week Randy Rodriguez, Jordan Hicks, and Robbie Ray have all landed on the injured list!
Tonight it was homers that made the difference. Logan Webb uncharacteristically gave up two homers, plus three walks, and couldn't get out of the 6th inning. The lineup bailed him out with the big blasts. Mike Yastrzemski's came in the 7th and that finished the scoring. The bullpen delivered four scoreless innings: Camilo Doval (1), Landen Roupp (2/3), Tyler Rogers (1-1/3), and Ryan Walker (1) for the save.
Tomorrow night (5:10 PT) Kyle Harrison gets the start. Balls were flying out of the yard tonight so let's hope he can keep a lid on the home runs and have his strikeout stuff working.
Go Giants!

p.s. Giants picked up local boy (Granite Bay) and former Cal star Andrew Knapp to play catcher. He had a short stint with the team in 2022.
