On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 The Philadelphia Phillies are just one game back in the NL East. Atlanta holds the top spot as the Phillies are in third. The Giants in third in the NL West. How do you see this series, which starts tonight?

#2 Giants starter Chris Stratton comes into the contest 6-3 ERA 4.97. Michael talks about Stratton facing the Giants’ lineup.

#3 The Phillies’ Aaron Nola came out throwing 90 MPH heat against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in the Phillies’ 2-1 win. Nola struck out seven in seven innings. The Phillies have been getting some good pitching of late and Nola was a huge contributor.

#4 The Giants have recalled pitcher Tyler Beede from Triple A Sacramento. Beede joins the Giants with a 0-1 and a 8.22 ERA. Beede is taking pitcher Jeff Samardjiza’s spot on the roster.

#5 Michael talks about the big breakout month that Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford had in May.
