On the MLB podcast with Tony the San Francisco Giants are getting the long ball help from from Trevor Brown who was actually brought up for his defensive skills but he’s really broke out the bats and hit two home runs he has three this season. Brown hit a two run homer in Colorado to help the Giants take the lead on the Rockies and eventually the Giants won it by seven runs 7-2.

The Giants Jeff Samardzija got the win and pitched one of his finest starts of the season going eight innings, the Giants got further home run help from Hunter Pence his second of the season of Rockies pitcher Tyler Chatwood. The Rockies didn’t stand a chance against Giant hitting on Tuesday night.

Oakland A’s continue their struggles and the relief staff has caved in again closer Sean Doolittle lost another save opportunity and was the losing pitcher on Tuesday night at the Oakland Coliseum as he gave way to a two run homer in the ninth to the LA Angels Geovany Soto. The A’s after the loss drop from being in first place after sweeping the Seattle Mariners to third place at 4-5. The A’s need to get it going soon because losing like this you could lose a lot of ground fast.

“We take a lot of pride in what we do. We were handed a lead late in the game and I couldn’t get the job done.” said Doolittle in the post game conference. The A’s on offense got help from A’s shortstop Marc Semien hit two home runs and now has three homers on the season. Not bad for Semien who hits ninth in the lineup.
