On the Giants podcast with Michael:

#1 Michael the San Francisco Giants (30-20) made it close but again like the last meeting couldn’t get past the Los Angeles Dodgers (31-19) 4-3 at Dodgers Stadium on Thursday night.

#2 Alex Wood was going for the Giants went six innings giving up six hits and four runs and gave up the go ahead run in the bottom of the sixth which turned out to be the gamer.

#3 The Giants have lost four of their last six games the four loses come against the Dodgers their a tough customer to get over.

#4 Michael, talk about Giant first baseman Brandon Belt whose suffering from a mild oblique strain and is expected to be out for 10-14 days. Also Darin Ruf left Wednesday’s game in Arizona with a right leg injury while running the bases how will they be missed?
