On the SF Giants podcast with Stephen Ruderman:

#1 Stephen, Giants catcher Patrick Bailey really dug in against the Arizona Diamondbacks pitching with three runs and four hits.

#2 One of Bailey’s hits was a two run home run which landed in McCovey Cove and it was the first time a ball was not a splash hit in the cove as it was caught by a kayaker. Although still went into the books as the 165th splash hit in the cove.

#3 Bailey said it was pretty cool to go four for four, have a ball land in the bay and have your own bobblehead all on the same day.

#4 Stephen talk about Jung Hoo Lee got two hits and now is on an 11 game hit streak talk about his focus at the plate to hit in 11 straight games.

#5 Sunday’s pitchers at Oracle Park, the Diamondbacks are going with Merrill Kelly (2-0 ERA 2.19) he’ll be opposed by Giants starter Jordan Hicks (2-0 ERA 1.57) whose been pitching lights out. This should be a good pitching duel which all starts at 1:05pm PDT.
