San Francisco Giants podcast with Troy Ewers: Giants bats come alive Tue after Mon night beating; Giants opener Walker starts today

On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Troy Ewers:

#1 Troy, it looked like Giants manager Gabe Kapler’s ejection from last night fired up the team, they responded with a four pitcher combined shutout and went on a hitting attack to defeat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-0.

#2 It was the Giants debut of rookie centerfielder Wade Meckler who got his first hit in the bottom of the sixth inning that jump started his career. Meckler went onto get two hits and and score a run.

#3 Meckler was at bat when he took a pitch that looked liked a ball which Kapler came out and argued about. Meckler said he didn’t argue the call because he was just in his second day on the job and didn’t want to come off as disrespecting the umpires.

#4 Troy, talk about the two home runs that the Giants got from Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores both hit home runs in the 7-0 landslide of the Rays on Tuesday night. For Estrada it was hit tenth home run of the season and for Flores it was 17th home run.

#5 The Tampa Bay Rays will be starting Aaron Civale (5-3 ERA 2.61) will be matched up against the San Francisco Giants Ryan Walker (4-1 ERA 2.28) expect Walker to be an opener a 12:45pm PT first pitch at Oracle Park.
