That's only the third shutout by the Giants this season. Landen Roupp threw six scoreless frames but then gave up a double and a walk to start the 7th. Randy Rodriguez came in and got a strikeout and double play. He gets used in all the toughest spots but has pitched superbly. He's faced 81 batters this season (21-2/3 IP) and has 31 whiffs with only three walks and 12 hits allowed. Erik Miller and Camilo Doval finished up. Doval has also been excellent—over 23-1/3 IP he's given up only nine hits.
Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore dominated the Giants for his first six innings, striking out nine and yielding a mere two hits. He was removed after Jung Hoo Lee walked to start the 7th. The first reliever (Jackson Rutledge) gave up three walks and the second reliever (Zach Brzykcy*) gave up three hits and that was the game.
Tomorrow's game is at 1:05 PT.
Go Giants!
