On the SF Giants podcast with Morris:

#1 On Sunday San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Wood threw shutout ball against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego and the Giants ended up winning in a laugher 12-0 to split the four game series with the Padres.

#2 Wood had his mojo going throwing no hit ball in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Pads until rookie CJ Abrams hit a single to leftfield to end the no hit bid.

#3 The Padres were in a no hit drought going back to Saturday’s game when they last got a hit in second inning going 12 innings without a hit until Sunday’s sixth inning.

#4 Marko knowing Padres manager Bob Melvin as well as you do these last two games have to be a little unusual play of the Padres and losing to the strengths of two strong pitchers for the Giants Carlos Rodon on Saturday and Wood on Sunday.

#5 The Giants open a three game series Monday night with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park. The Diamond backs will be starting Merrill Kelly (7-5, 3.42) and for the Giants Alex Cobb (3-3, 4.74) for a 6:45 pm PDT first pitch at Oracle Park in San Francisco.
