On the MLB Podcast The Show with Matt Harrington:

#1 Giants pitcher Jeff Samardjiza had quite an outing on Friday night going five innings of shutout ball against the Oakland A’s in the Giants win

#2 The Giants who swept the A’s during the Bay Bridge series got some excitement from Nick Hundley who hit a grand slam home run off A’s starter Andrew Triggs on Sunday

#3 The A’s got a help in the third inning on Saturday from Marcus Semien off Giant starter Ty Beede. Semien got a hit off Beede but Beede pitched a decent ball game in his own right striking out four of six hitters

#4 The A’s had the day off Sunday but that might not be a good thing as they would like to get the bad taste of losing the three game Bay Bridge series to the Giants out of their mouths. They ‘ll get their chance Monday night at the Oakland Coliseum on opening night against the Los Angeles Angels

#5 The Giants opened their season in Phoenix and Giants starter Madison Bumgarner not only was pitching a gem but he hit couple homers in his own right but closer Mark Malencon couldn’t hold the Diamondbacks and gets his first blown save of 2017 as the D-Backs come back down 5-4 to win it in the ninth 6-5. Maybe Mad Bum should have went the distance.
