On the Giants podcast with Michael:

#1 Los Angeles Dodgers took two out of three from the San Francisco Giants winning Monday 9-1, losing 5-0 on Tuesday, and taking the rubber game 10-5 won Wednesday night. Your evaluation of the Giants in this series is there anything that Gabe Kapler should be concerned about.

#2 The Giants faced Dodger ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw who pitched six innings giving up five hits and improved his record to 2-1.

#3 San Francisco sent Alex Cobb to the mound who lasted 3.2 innings and gave up eight hits and two runs but was not the pitcher of record in Wednesday’s loss. Lots of hits from what you could observe how much did he struggle in this one?

#4 On Monday Giants starter Logan Webb had a tough time pitching to the Max Muncy a grand slam and home run and seven RBIs, was 0-1 on Tuesday, but came back on Wednesday and hit two home runs off Giant pitching. If you can keep him off the bases all he needs is one swing of the bat to touch them all.

#5 The Giants are headed for Detroit with Thursday off, the Giants will start Sean Manaea (0-0 ERA 4.50) and the Tigers have not announced a starter for Friday yet. Do you see the Giants gaining some ground in the Detroit series.
