On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Stephen:

#1 Stephen you got to hand it to Giants LaMonte Wade Jr who came through with the only run of the game Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the bottom of the fourth inning.

#2 The Giants also got some great pitching from the opener Scott Alexander and five other pitchers that followed him.

#3 The Giants second pitcher on Thursday Tristan Beck went the longest with four innings of work giving up just two hits and three strikeouts.

#4 Giants manager Gabe Kapler really worked his pitching staff outside of Beck he had Alexander and four other pitchers go less than two innings and the Giants pulled off a shutoff.

#5 Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfraadt pitched a fine game but lost going seven innings, two hits, one earned run, and seven strikeouts. Pfraadt pitched good enough to win but didn’t get the run support.

#6 Giants and A’s battle here at the Oakland Coliseum tonight for a brief two game series in another Reverse Boycott contest where A’s fans invited Giants fans to chant “Sell the Team” in efforts to stop the move of the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas is this message getting through to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred or is it getting lost in the preparation of the relocation vote coming in November?
