A twenty-hit nail-biter

SF 12  MIL 9 

The Giants clobbered the ball today, rapping out a score of hits including five doubles and two homers. One of the homers was a grand slam by Eric Haase. Usually the Giants win when they hit a grand slam so I was feeling good. It was 6-3 Giants in the top of the 6th and when they scored six to make it 12-3 I was feeling even better. Three Giants relievers conspired to give up six runs over the last three frames, including three in the 9th, and I actually, physically, couldn't watch anymore. I've said a few times that this team is "unwatchable" and this was one of those times! Caleb Killian managed to get the save, thankfully.

Two in a row against a good club. Wow!

Oh, does anyone else think we should swap Bryce Eldrige and Rafael Devers in the lineup?

Day games (11:20 PT) tomorrow and Saturday at Wrigley. Looks like Ray & Roupp.

Go Giants!
