On the SF Giants podcast with Marko:

#1 What started off as a disastrous game turned into possibly the biggest win of the season for the Giants, as despite Kyle Harrison’s wildness and Jung-hoo Lee going down to injury in the first inning, the Giants came back to beat the Reds in a wild 10-inning game 6-5.

#2 Jeimer Candelario hit a high fly ball to right-center field that center-fielder Jung-hoo Lee kept from going out of the park with a grand slam with a leap over the wall, but the ball deflected off his glove, and all three runs scored on a double by Candelario to give the Reds an early 3-0 lead.

#3 Lee sat on the ground for a few minutes, as he was tended to by Manager Bob Melvin and two of the Giants’ trainers, and he had to come out of the game with a dislocated left shoulder.

#4 The Giants have already lost a good chunk of players to injuries over the last week: Patrick Bailey, Jorge Soler, Nick Ahmed, Tom Murphy, Austin Slater, Michael Conforto and Lee just to name a few. 

#5 Giants open up a three game series starting Monday night at Oracle Park at 6:45pm PDT against the Los Angeles Dodgers. For the Dodgers starting pitcher RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-1 ERA 2.79) and for the Giants RHP Jordan Hicks (3-1 ERA 2.30).
