The Giants won in stellar fashion tonight with a 6-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The team since Sunday’s 11-2 loss to Colorado has been playing good fundamental baseball this is what they needed before they come home to face the Braves which starts on Thursday night at AT&T Park the Giants will be home over the next week and half.The Giants at Miller Park in Milwaukee this a park where the ball carries there and that’s what happened in Monday’s win, the ball carried for them and it happened again on Tuesday night too.

Casey McGehee who was given an option to go to triple A Sacramento or find another big league club. McGehee who was given the option on Sunday could end up playing in Sacramento. He hit into a lot of double plays (12) and hit .200 and the Giants needed to do something. They did something very quickly and I was very shocked by it but it was a great move.

Giants third baseman Matt Duffy will do a great job taking over the position. McGehee did get ample time at third base. It was like the time when they had Joe Panik move to second base. Panik is now at second base for good now and Duffy at third he’ll be okay there. You might see McGehee back up sooner or later. Definitely you’ll see him in September, who knows he might play in Sacramento and he might be there for the rest of the season until call ups.

Duffy has a good eye at the plate he’s hitting .300 and the rest of the line up has had a good eye for the ball in this series, they worked on these things in spring training and they’ve studied everyone in the organization for so long they know what is going on and Duffy will do a good job at third base.

Even though the Giants are closing in on the Dodgers it’s like we said on the last show it’s only May it’s too early to make a call on where the Giants will finish up in the NL West. The club has a lot of time to go yet and they’ve done outstanding in May by sweeping the Dodgers at home and the Dodgers didn’t even score a run as they got shutout in all three games at AT&T Park on May 19-21.
