On the SF Giants podcast with Marko Ukalovic:
#1 Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Slade Cecconi pitched into the sixth inning surrendering two runs and two hits after original scheduled pitcher Merrill Kelly was scratched before the game. Cecconi was the winning pitcher of record after the Giants lost it 5-3 to split the four game series 2-2.
#2 Offensive hero for the Diamondbacks Gabriel Moreno hit a two run single that turned out to be to game winner RBI in the top of the sixth inning giving the Diamondbacks a 3-2 lead.
#3 How impressive is it that Cecconi comes in on a moments notice to replace Kelly like that and throws a two hit two run game?
#4 Cecconi hadn’t given up a hit until the fifth when the Giants Thairo Estrada got an infield single with two down. The next hitter Mike Yastrzemski came up and hit a two run homer that gave the Giants a brief lead at 2-1.
#5 Giants try again to scratch out a win as they open a three game series against the New York Mets. Starting pitchers for the Mets Jose Quintana (1-1 ERA 3.05) for the Giants Keaton Winn (1-3 ERA 4.09) first pitch will be at 6:45 p.m. How do you see this match up and this series coming up.
