On the Giants podcast with Jim from the On Base Show:

#1 Seattle Mariners starter Logan Gilbert went the distance on Tuesday afternoon shutting out the San Francisco Giants giving up only five hits and striking out seven hitters. Gilbert had his control and kept hitters off balance all afternoon.

#2 Jim, Logan was so happy with the results of his handy work that he danced a bit and apologized for it later on saying he was just so excited to pitch a shutout and go the distance.

#3 The Mariners got some good hitting out of AJ Pollock who hit a two run blast as the Mariners came out ahead with a six run win. Pollock was key to providing some offense for the M’s.

#4 Jim, Giants manager Gabe Kapler wanted to use Michael Conforto as designated hitter rather than start him in the outfield. Conforto is recovering from his left hamstring injuries when he injured himself last week Wednesday making a catch in the outfield in Toronto.

#5 Game 3 is on tap tonight Jim, the Mariners will start Tommy Milone (0-0 ERA 1.93) and for the Giants righthander Alex Cobb (5-2 ERA 3.12) a 6:05pm PT first pitch. No doubt Cobb is looking for his sixth plus a chance to even the score from Tuesday night’s 6-0 loss.
