The lineup posted 26 strikeouts in the two-game set. But it was the pitching that let them down. The Padres scored 12 runs, battering both Logan Webb and Landen Roupp. Tonight Justin Verlander gets a shot at the Rockies. Colorado is in town for four, tonight's game is at 6:45 PT.
Go Giants!

They did a lot of take the swing out, opposite field hitting. Something very few giants do currently in similar situations with runners in scoring position. It is where one hits it, not necessarily how hard. Giants have done a little bit of situational hitting, but they appear to be doing less as the season is progressing. Wonder if there is any other team that hits so many 400 foot flyouts, and strikes out so much with runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs. The first few weeks of the season the giants seemed to have figured this out, but now they are setting in to a swing for the fences attack, even with 2 outs and runners in scoring position. When guys like Matos, and Villar get to play once a week, they just do not hit. Both guys have show that they can hit if they get more reps.
