Robbie Ray walked four guys in the first five innings but they didn't hurt him. He allowed only two hits across eight frames and whiffed eight. The one run he allowed was unearned. It was his best start of 2026.
Jung Hoo Lee made an error on a routine play in RF but also homered and had another hit and a walk. His .331 average is second only to the Marlins Otto Lopez (.337).
Caleb Killian put two on in the 9th but still managed to get the save. The Giants kept the terrific Nick Kurtz from hurting them (he was 0-for-4 with 3 K). I mention him because he was the #4 pick in the 2024 draft (from Wake Forest). The 23-year old lefty slugger spent only 33 games in the minors. He hit 36 HR as a rookie last year in 117 games. It is possible to find an impact player with the #4 pick!!
6:45 tonight and Tyler Mahle returns from the IL to get the start.
Go Giants!
