For the second straight game the Giants gave up six runs in an inning. Today it was the 4th inning, not the 9th, but the results were the same. Jon Gray, the Rockies starter, is a good pitcher and he kept the Giants in check. They had a chance against the bullpen in the final three innings but could not quite get there. It seems only the home team gets miracle comebacks at Coors Field. A promising series in Colorado instead leaves a foul taste.
Ah well, it's a day off for the lads tomorrow before a home series with San Diego starting Friday. Let's hope home cookin' is still best. Buster Posey had two hits but left the game for reasons yet to be determined. Please, no more injuries. The Giants are banged up enough.

p.s. I posted the above yesterday. Today is the 6th which is Willie Mays' birthday. Happy Birthday, Willie! He turns 90. He was born in 1931, the same year both of my parents were born. My mom will be 90 in September. (Her favorite player was Ted Williams--sorry, Willie.)

Bart returns to AAA as they begin their season.
It is reported that Posey had slight hamstring discomfort. I guess we will probably see him again in 3 weeks. Nice to see Matt Duffy go 3 for 4 and score 3 runs against the bums. Duffy is hitting over 300. Maybe is presence in the N.L. will once again bode well for the giants, even if he is on the Cubs.
Yaz is back. Dickerson goes to the IL. Jarlin Garcia returns to the bullpen as Joey Bart returns to AAA.
DeSclafani tonight. Gausman tomorrow. And Johnny Cueto on Sunday!
Cueto's return means Webb to the bullpen, most likely, with someone like Selman or Littell going back to the minors.
