Giants win their seventh straight game, eighth win overall on Wilmer Flores' game winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Final score, 5-4.
Giants have the best record in major league baseball at 8-1. They are percentage points ahead of the Evil Empire (9-2).
Some nice items:
- Yaz had his first home run, a three run shot.
- Jung Hoo Lee, two more hits, hitting .344.
- Nine strikeouts on the batting side, not too bad.
- Miller and Rogers earned holds.
- 3 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Giants have the best batting average with RISP and two outs of any team in the league.
- Matos stole the Giants' twelfth base in 13 attempts.
Some items of concern:
- Jordan Hicks (2.38 ERA) was raked. He gave up two home runs, four more hits and a walk and hit two batters and gave up three earned runs.
- Second game in a row with an error (Matos)
- Miller and Doval both gave up two hits but the ump had a really tight strike zone...not too bad.
- Doval also had two walks...four batters in one inning reach base. Not good. He had a blown save and "earned" the win.
- Half of the Giants' eight wins have come with the Giants having fewer hits than the other team. Not a good trend.
Logan Webb vs. Hunter Greene, Reds tomorrow at 6:45.
