Good idea Doval, keep the ball in the infield!

That sinker seems to have no sink right now.

But it worked!

Woah, a Giants' win!

Taking 1 game out of that series feels like nothing short of theft. We were so outclassed at every aspect of the game in every matchup.

Kirby Yates felt bad for the Giants and wanted them to have some dignity after the series.

With 38 games remaining, the Giants are on pace to 85-77 on the season.

Somehow, the Giants have kept the 2nd Wild Card spot despite the inept play. They do have the Cubs just a half game behind them with the D-Backs, Reds and Marlins within 2 games. The Padres are the next team, at 6.5 games behind the Giants.

This game could yet go south. Pederson, with his -0.8 dWAR, was a glove and is on the field.

By the way that -0.8 dWAR comes in 135 innings this season. Fortunately, his 0.6 oWAR counts more heavily in his favor as BBRef has his overall WAR at 0.5.

Lately it seems this is the only way to come away with a win. A gift.

Best 18M the Giants have ever spent.

Once more fantastic pitching (zero ERs) gets a win. Timely HRs helped. Need every win we can get.
