#SFGiants manager Gabe Kapler on the Justin Smoak signing:
"It's a minor league deal…hewill go to Sacramento to get reps in (get his feet underneath him)…I had a nice conversation with him a day or two ago…he's excited to contribute to the organization" pic.twitter.com/tpZF1sUgKR
I wasn’t super excited when first seeing this meal on the board, but a Bacon Cheeseburger is difficult for any dish to follow up The chicken was pretty tasty and I actually really liked the vegtables.
Former Red Philip Ervin breaks Anderson’s no-hitter, but Anderson escapes the jam. Yaz nearly gunned down Ervin at third, but Longoria can’t scoop it which leads to men on the corners with 1 out.
Marmolejos 6-3, Ervin 1B, Crawford 1B (Ervin to third), Moore K, Lewis 6-3
Bottom 3rd
The Giants capitalize on back to back hits with Yaz’s 3-run bomb that quiets the “Margevicus for MVP” chants.
Bart 1B, Crawford 1B, Dubon (wild pitch advances both runners one base) K, Yaz HR [9th of the year], Solano F8, Ruf P6
Flores’ hit was a bloop double, but it’s good enough for the Giants as they score him two batters later. I should note that Longoria was visible frustrated with the strike call that was clearly outside. I think he’s over it since he hit an RBI single at 100 mph on the next pitch.
Flores 2B, Belt 4-3 (Flores to third), Longoria 1B, Bart F9, Crawford BB, Dubon L6
18 pitches isn’t what you normally think of when it comes to a 1-2-3 inning, but Anderson just did it. Now he has a chance to complete the 6th inning (a feat he’s only accomplished once before this year).
Marmolejos K, Ervin F8, Crawford F8
Bottom 5th
Ruf makes Gabe Kapler look good and the near-home-run-double starts a 2 out rally.
Yaz 5-3, Solano F9, Ruf 2B, Crawford IBB, Belt BB (Walker Lockett in to pitch), Longoria 1B, Bart 1B, Crawford 3-1
Anderson with a pretty quick 15 pitch for this 1-2-3 inning,
Moore L4, Lewis K, Seager K
Bottom 6th
The Giants third three-run inning gives them 10 runs on the night, marking their 4th have scored 10+ runs in a game this season (3rd time at Oracle Park).
Dubon 1B,, Yaz 1B, Solano FC, Dickerson 1B (Pinch-hitting for Ruf, Basabe pinch-running for Dick), Flores 2B, Belt 5-3, Longoria F9
The Giants win their 5th straight (L10: 8-2) & they show their offensive power w/3 IP scoring 3 Rs. Tyler Anderson had his 2nd-best start of the season going 6 strong & 4 Ks
The Giants now play 9 straight on the road over 11 days.
They have the 6th best winning percentage in the National League right now and have a +10 run differential.#SFGiants mood right now: pic.twitter.com/dppoa1Xc2J
