That was a bummer……

Ugly, ugly, ugly loss. You have one or two of those every season. Hopefully, not more than that.

Great, GREAT win. Down 5-0 midway through the game, down to their last strike, the Giants scored nine unanswered runs for a 9-5 win. LaMonte Wade had three hits and three walks, on base six times. Last Giant to do that? LaMonte Wade, last year. Wade's OBP is .484, he'd be leading MLB if he had enough ABs. His OBP yesterday was .373. Ryan Walker got the win, he's 4-2. Disconcertingly, Snell was shelled for four runs in 3 1/3rd innings.

Chapman closed it out with a rocket. Joey Bart hit a hard line drive down third base line, Chapman knocked it down, got the runner by a step. Chap had an HR earlier, too.

Giants pitchers struck out a collective 15 Pirates. All five relievers have sub 3.00 ERAs (Hjelle, 2.89; Rodriguez, 2.53; Ty Rogers, 2.28; Walker, 2.42; Doval, 2.75).
