San Francisco Giants podcast Lincoln:Juarez:

#1 The Tampa Bay Rays Yandy Diaz and Junior Caminero both hit home runs and Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan pitched six quality innings as the Rays blanked the Giants 3-0 Friday night.

#2 The Rays Taylor Walls hit a double to lead off the sixth inning and then stole third base and wound up scoring on Chandler Simpson’s sac fly for the Rays third and final run of the game.

#3 McClanahan was going smooth sailing unti the top of the fifth when the Giants Rafael Devers and Jung Hoo Lee both singled that put them both on first and third base. McClanahan got Jerar Encarnacion to hit into a double play that ended the inning. McClanahan allowed five hits and struck out five batters.

#4 Ray allowed three runs and four hits in six and one third innngs of work. Ray gave up a bunt single to Simpson and later picked Simpson off at first base when Simpson was trying to seal three pitches later on. Ray pitched well enough to win but didn’t get the run support.

#5 Giants go at it again on Saturday afternoon they’ll start RHP Landen Roupp (5-1 ERA 2.55) he’ll be opposed by the Tampa Rays RHP Griffin Jax (1-2 ERA 6.35) first pitch 3:10pm PDT.
