San Francisco Giants podcast Augie Mesenburg:

The San Francisco Giants are trying to find out what kind of team they are and starting pitcher Trevor McDonald got lit up in the top of the fourth inning by the Chicago White Sox for three hits and seven runs. Releiver Ryan Boruki got touched up following MacDonald 1.1 inning allowing two hits and one run.

The Giants are not playing that well they came off a three game sweep by the Arizona Diamondbacks on the road trip and were eaten up in the top of the ninth inning by the White Sox. McDonald had success in his first two outings for San Francisco but was lit up in his appearance against Chicago.

The Giants have a go at it again on Saturday starting pitcher for the White Sox RHP Erick Fedde (0-4 ERA 4.30) and for the Giants RHP Andrian Houser (2-4 ERA 5.25) first pitch 1:05pm PDT.
