The Giants got blanked by Tyler Anderson and three relievers on Friday night, losing 2-0 to the Angels and wasting an excellent start from Logan Webb (career-high 12 K). Landed Roupp followed on Saturday with his best start ever, going seven innings, allowing a mere two runs, and whiffing nine. Tyler Rogers and Ryan Walker preserved the 3-2 win. Yesterday the Giants got gut-punched in the 9th, with Walker giving up four runs in the final frame for a 5-4 loss. Justin Verlander went six and allowed just one run. Camilo Doval and Rogers got the next six outs before the Angels spoiled things.
Giants allowed only nine runs in the three games but managed to score just seven. They are finally home after a ten-game (5-5) road trip. They've got seven more to play (four against the Brewers and three against the Rangers) before an off day on the 28th. Tonight it is Robbie Ray at 6:45 PT.
Go Giants!

I think he clearly had Trout struck out, and the disapointment of not getting that call, seemed to affect him. Maybe he just didn't have it, but it seemed as if the call had more of an effect on him than it should have. Giants had ample opportunity to add on more runs, but did not. Several times on full counts giants swung at ball 4. Have to chalk this one up to one of those bad losses that occurs during the course of the season, I hope they do not have many more like this one.
Yeah closers are going to blow a few and that's just something you have to live with! I like to say it's not about the losses, it's how you bounce back from them!
