San Francisco Giants podcast Marko Ukalovic:

#1 On Sunday the New York Mets swept the San Francisco Giants for the first since June 23-25 in 2017. The Mets for the most part in the series did it with authority.

#2 The Mets sweep over the Giants is their eighth of the season tying for the most sweeps in the majors.

#3 It was a bullpen for the Giants the Giants ended up using seven pitchers. Giant reliever Randy Rodriguez was fourth pitcher used ended up with the loss pitching in the seventh inning and giving up two runs. It was a tough loss for Rodriguez who was looking to close the door on the Mets.

#4 The Mets got home run help in the top of the seventh inning from Ronny Mauricio and Juan Soto for two big insurance runs as the Mets went up 4-3 and eventually won it 5-3.

#5 The Giants pitching staff are suffering from sore arms and open us a three game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night. The Giants who threw a bullpen game Sunday will most likely do the same on Monday night. The Pirates will be starting RHP Mitch Keller (4-10 ERA 3.53) he’ll be opposed by the Giants LHP Carson Wisenhunt (0-0 ERA 0.00) first pitch at 6:45pm PT.
