SF 2 AZ 0
Chris Stratton had his best start ever last night (8 IP, 0 R) and got just enough support for the Giants to slip past the first-place Diamondbacks. The 28-year old former first-rounder from Tupelo has been in the organization since 2012 but has yet to throw 200 ML innings. Maybe this opportunity late in the season will be what he needs to put his game together for next year. With Cueto out the team will certainly need lots of quality innings from the starters. Time to make yourself part of the mix, Strat! Speaking of serving notice, rookie centerfielder Steven Duggar hit a two-run homer in the 2nd to provide all the scoring. His glove will keep him in the outfield mix, it will be nice to see if he can add a reliable bat to go along with his great speed.
Madison Bumgarner tonight. GO GIANTS!

I guess Dugg's baby is sleeping through the night now.
I meant Stratton.
This is 4 straight very good starts, two for Sacramento, and two for Sanfrancisco. He did a good job last year late in the season. I guess having to change diapers caused him to lose his mechanics, but now he has managed to be able to change diapers and keep his mechanics. Which makes me think that mechanics was the problem with Lincecum, Cain, and Jonathan Sanchez, but no one could figure out how to get their mechanics back.
