The Giants offense was quiet again and this time the pitching was not able to pick them up. Key Lines:
Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .260. YtY scored the Giants only run when Pablo Sandoval singled him home on B2B hits in the 6'th inning.
Shaun Anderson RHP- 5 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 5.06. Not quite as bad as the line looks. Anderson committed the unpardonable sin of walking the pitcher to lead off the 5'th inning. He then brushed back Fernando Tatis and Tatis got up and crushed one to R-CF for a 2-run blast that was the big blow of the game. Anderson was lifted after allowing a leadoff double in the 6'th inning that eventually scored.

Madison Bumgarner takes the mound tomorrow afternoon facing TBD in his last start before the Trade Deadline. Ironically the outcome of this game may determine whether Farhan buys or sells and Bummy's performance may impact his trade value. Drama!

Sergio Romo traded to the Twins. Derek Holland traded to the Cubs for cash. Oh, and maybe I'm late to the party, but I'm pretty sure that twitter piece about his "secret sauce" is satire. "Holland Ace Sauce!" LOL!
