San Francisco Giants podcast Morris Phillips:

#1 The San Diego Padres got a home run and two runs from Elias Diaz and Fernando Tatis Jr got three hits as the Padres won in a two run game 5-3 to sweep the Giants at Petco Park in San Diego on Wednesday afternoon.

#2 The Padres win moves them up a notch in second place in the NL West into second place passing the Giants and just behind the Los Angles Dodgers who are in first.

#3 Diaz’ homer was a line shot in left field against Giants starter Landen Roupp that started off the third inning that gave the Padres a 2-0 lead. A Giants fan reached over the fence as the ball went off his wrist. The Giants called for fan interference but after the review it ruled a home run.

#4 The Padres got more help from Tatis who got three hits all singles and also scored on a Manny Machado base hit to right field for an RBI. Jose Iglesias was safe on an infield hit for an RBI that scored Luis Arraez. Arraez got a triple to knock in Diaz in the sixth inning. The Padres executed on offense to get the win.

#5 The Colorado Rockies and Giants will open a four game series and a brand new month of May 1 today in San Francisco. Starting pitcher for the Rockies RHP Kyle Freeman (0-4 ERA 5.93) for the Giants Justin Verlander (0-2 ERA 4.99) for a 6:45pm first pitch.
