Flat in Phoenix

AZ 5  SF 3

The Giants lost their fourth straight game--their first such losing streak this season. Johnny Cueto wasn't sharp and the lineup could not mount a comeback after falling behind in the 4th inning. Wilmer Flores and Mike Yastrzemski hit homers, but that was it. The bullpen (Jose Alvarez, Jarlin Garcia, and John Brebbia) pitched three scoreless. LaMonte Wade, Jr. and JohnnyC combined for a really slick 1-3-1 play in the 1st, Wade sprawling out to barehand a deflection and flip the ball to Cueto covering, who barehanded the throw!

Alex Wood tonight at 6:40 Pacific.

Go Giants!

Giants made a trade. 27-year old LHP Anthony Banda goes to the Mets for Will Toffey, a minor-league infielder.

Banda was at AAA and had some ML time. He was once a big prospect but injuries have set him back.

Toffey is a lefty hitting 3B who played at Vanderbilt. He's 26 and was originally drafted by Oakland, then traded to the Mets. Currently a good OBA but low-power hitter at Mets AA affiliate in Binghamton.

Curt Casali, Mike Yastrzemski, Sam Selman, and Tyler Beede were all Commodores, as was 1B coach Antoan Richardson.
