On San Francisco Giants Ruderman:

#1 Stephen, the San Francisco opened up this brief two game series here in Oakland facing A’s starter Osvaldo Bido who no hit them in the six innings of work.

#2 Bido’s no hit bid came to an end when he gave up an infield hit to Grant McCray. It was quite the afternoon of pitching for Bido.

#3 Bido when he left pitched six giving up just the one hit to McCray and struck out six batters.

#4 Bido didn’t allow a baserunner until the fifth inning when he walked Mike Yastrzemski. So Bido was able to keep runners off the bases.

#5 Giants conclude this two games series this afternoon as a left handed Blake Snell (2-3, ERA 3.91) gets the start against the A’s left hand pitcher JP Sears (10-8, ERA 4.32) first pitch at 1:07pm PT.
