On the SF Giants podcast with Miguel:

The Giants’ first baseman Brandon Belt’s success of .304, 65 hits, 35 hits and 12 homers and Giants’ shortstop Brandon Crawford’s success of .310, 78 hits, 32 RBIs and eight home runs. Both are the main staples in the Giants’ lineup. Also, Giants’ outfielder Hunter Pence was noted as struggling as he had two RBIs last Wednesday against the Miami Marlins, but in hitting and defense, Pence has struggled. What has been his frustration?

Pitcher Madison Bumgarner improved his record to 1-2, tossing an eight inning, three-hit shutout and got bullpen help from Mark Melancon. Who closed the door on the Padres on Thursday night in the ninth inning?

Giants and Padres tonight from AT&T Park. The Giants will go with Chris Stratton 8-4. Michael goes over Stratton’s performance of late.
