The 10-1 win to open the Toronto series was the 90th game of the season. I'm a little tardy once again on my "innings" post. We've had five 18-game stretches, five seasonal innings, and we've four more to go. As you can see, things are just piddling along like before. Well OK, they at least had a .500 spell.
They lost the next two to the Jays. Logan Webb gave up his first-ever grand slam. There are four more games (with the Rockies at home) before the blessed relief of the All-Star Break. The 38-54 (.413) Giants are only the fourth-worst team. The Royals, Rockies, and Angels are worse but just barely—the whole bunch is separated by a mere two games. Colorado is 38-56 (.404) so I expect a free-wheeling brawl-a-thon for the NL West table scraps.
There's talk of the Giants drafting UC Santa Barbara righty Jackson Flora with the #4 pick. A high school shortstop (Jacob Lombard) is also supposedly on the radar.
Webb and Luis Arraez will represent San Francisco at the 96th ASG in Philly next week.

Giants take the best pitcher in the draft, Jackson Flora, with the #4 pick.
It all looks good. This guy is impressive. He's 6-5, 205 and can throw 100 mph.
He pitched at UC Santa Barbara which is the new NCAA pitching hotspot. Born in Walnut Creek and went to Foothill HS in Pleasanton, so another "local boy."
It's a good pick. Let's hope it all works out!
