Wilmer Flores played the hero once again. He walked with the bases loaded in the 10th inning to give the Giants a true walk-off win. Otherwise it was a pitching duel with Landen Roupp and Luis Severino matching zeroes for six frames and the bullpens pushing it to extras. Athletics closer Mason Miller throws 100+ mph routinely but he struggled with command and walked three batters to force home the Manfred Man. Wilmer was behind in the count and had to fight off some impossible fastballs before watching the winning ball go by. He had three walks on the night.
Justin Verlander gets the start today at 1:05 PT.
Go Giants!

Jordan Hicks was moved to the relief brigade and Hayden Birdsong was given his spot in the rotation. It had to happen, I suppose. I'm bummed for Hicks and disappointed as he does a lot of things well. They just weren't working!
Birdsong has done really well this year and with his good work last year he's certainly earned it.
One of those 3 WALKS was intentional. I am surprised they walked Yaz, because he has not shown that he can hit a 100 plus MPH fastball.
