PHI 4 SF 2
The Giants right-handed lineup had no luck against southpaw starter Drew Smyly, managing only four hits and a walk in seven frames. In fact no one got to second base! They made a game of it in the 8th when the lefties came in and tagged righty reliever Nick Pivetta for two pinch-homers. Those were from Brandon Belt and Stephen Vogt. Otherwise Tyler Beede gave up ten hits in his five innings, the big blow a two-run blast from Rhys Hoskins.
MLBTR says the Giants and the Astros are talking about you-know-who, but as of post time there's been no action. (Remember: the R stands for Rumors.) The deadline is 4:00 p.m Eastern tomorrow. Jeff Samardzija takes the hill for the Giants in game two at 4:05 p.m. Pacific.
GO GIANTS!

The Chronic today says that the Giants haven't won in Philadelphia in 7 visits. Which is, of course, meaningless. This is 2019. Without checking the record, I guess they got swept in Philly in 2018 and 2017. But if memory serves (checks record) they swept Philly last year at home, so "the Giants have won 3 of the last 4 against Philadelphia" would be equally as pertinent."
In any case, go Giants. Don't trade Madbum.
