On the Giants podcast with Morris:

#1 The only competitive game out of the three game series for the San Francisco Giants against the Minnesota Twins was on Saturday when the Twins edged the Giants 3-2. But the bullpen lost that game for the Giants allowing two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning for the loss.

#2 With a 3-3 tie the Giants couldn’t hold on the tie and starter Jakob Junis was charged with six earned runs on his pitching line. The Twins scored five times in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull away from San Francisco on Sunday.

#3 The bullpen has been struggling trying to get the Giants out of log jams this one wasn’t any different after Junis was lifted in the bottom of the fifth reliever Alex Young who pitched two thirds of an inning gave up two runs both earned and two walks.

#4 The first bad sign about going to Minneapolis was the opening game on Friday where the Giants got outslugged 9-0 and Giant starter Alex Wood got rocked after pitching six innings giving up eight run earned runs on six hits.

#5 The Giants go back to the drawing board and get set to host the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park to open the homestand. Starting pitcher for the Padres Mike Clevinger (4-5, 3.59) the Giants will be starting Carlos Rodon (12-6, 2.81) a 6:40 pm PDT first pitch.
