On San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips:

#1 The San Francisco Giants dropped a three game series to the Arizona Diamondbacks losing two out of three. Both loses by San Francisco were narrow loses starting with Monday’s 2-1 loss as the Diamondbacks lead off hitter Corbin Carroll hit two home runs which was all the runs the Diamondbacks needed for the win.

#2 The Diamondbacks held onto win on Wednesday afternoon with 13 hits to just hold onto get by the Giants 8-7. The Diamondbacks got home run help from Ketel Marte who hit two homers in the rubber game win.

#3 Giants starter Jordan Hicks gave up Marte’s first home run a solo blast in the first inning then in the top of the fourth Marte homered off Giants reliever Hayden Birdsong. Marte was seeing the ball well during the Wednesday matinee.

#4 The Sacramento A’s come calling on Friday night at Oracle Park in the first of a three game series. This will be the first non Bay Bridge Series between the two clubs since the A’s moved to Sacramento. Still this doesn’t take away from the nostalgia of it all does it?

#5 Morris, taking a look at the starters for this one Friday for the A’s manager Mark Kotsay has not decided on who will start to open the series yet. For the Giants RHP Logan Webb (4-3 ERA 2.60) has been having a lot success out on the mound. How do you see this series.
