The San Francisco Giants’ ace Kevin Gausman delivered again and Brandon Crawford drew a bases loaded walk firing up a seven-run 13th inning for a 9-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night.

In seven innings at Angel Stadium, Gausman allowed one run – a home run in the fifth inning by Luis Rengifo. He allowed four hits and a walk and struck out nine batters.

The Giants and Angels each had a run in the 12th inning. But in the 13th inning, the Giants had a walk, a wild-pitch, a two-run single from Duggar and a three-run homer from Mike Tauchman to lead 9-2. The Angels only managed one run at the bottom of the 13th inning and got swept in the two-game series.

“It was a wild day for sure,” said outfield Steven Duggar, who was responsible for the two biggest hits after the ninth inning. “Wild, wild finish.”

Tauchman, who struck out five times before hitting the three-run homer, called himself a “jumped mess” and said his approach in the 13th inning was, “Please God, put something in play.” It appears his prayers were answered.

The Giants spoiled a dazzling performance by Angels superstar pitcher Shohei Ohtani. He allowed one run in six innings. Ohtani was not as impressive when he went to bat. Gausman got Ohtani to ground out in the first inning and then struck him out twice on splitters in the third and fifth innings.

Ohtani said Gausman is “a great pitcher, and his splitter was moving in a way that I haven’t really seen recently.” Ohtani admitted, “He got the best of us.”

San Francisco improved their record to 48-26, the best in the league.

The Giants return home to host the Oakland A’s for a three-game series starting on Friday. First pitch is at 6:45 p.m.

After a terrific home stand that saw the San Francisco Giants go 6-1, they returned to the road for a brief two-game series.

Anthony DeSclafani went seven innings allowing zero runs on three hits, walking just two and striking out nine, as the Giants defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5-0 at Anaheim Stadium.

With the victory, the Giants increased their lead over the second place Los Angeles Dodgers up to three games after the Dodgers lost to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park and their lead over the third place Padres remains at four and a half games.

Also, the Giants raise their record to a major-league best 47-26 on the season and threw their 10th shutout of the season.

The Giants did not waste any time to get on the scoreboard against Angels starter Andrew Heaney.

Mike Yastrzemski singled with one out in the top of the first inning, then after Darin Ruf hit an opposite field double that sent Yastrzemski to third. Buster Posey grounded out to for the second out of the inning; however, it easily scored Yastrzemski from third base.

Brandon Belt then laid down a perfect bunt down the third base line that scored Ruf from third base.

Following the Belt single, Wilmer Flores hit his third home run in the last two games, as he launched his seventh home run of the season to give the Giants a commanding 4-0 lead before the Angels even came to the plate for the first time.

Brandon Crawford, who went 3-for-3 on the night, as he continues his run to a potential spot on the National League All-Star team.

Mauricio Dubon drove in the fifth and final run of the evening for the Giants, as he hit his fifth home run of the season.

It was a tough night at the plate for Shohei Ohtani, who is tied for the major-league lead in home runs with Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., in home runs with 23, did not get the ball out of the infield, as he walked once and struck out three times.

Heaney went six innings, allowing five runs on two hits, did not walk a batter and struck out 10, as he saw his record fall to 4-5 on the season.

NOTES: Tommy La Stella will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento, as he remains out with a left hamstring strain. La Stella has missed the last 45 games with the injury.

With two home runs on the night, the Giants now have 109 home runs on the season.

Since the divisional era began in 1969, this is just the sixth time that the Giants are 20 plus games over .500 prior to the month of July and it is the first time since June 23, 2016 when they were 47-27. They also reached that plateau in 2014, 1993, 1978 and 1971, the Giants reached the postseason in three of those seasons, 1971 (lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Championship Series, 2014 (won the World Series over the Kansas City Royals) and in 2016 (lost to the Chicago Cubs in the National League Division Series.

UP NEXT: Kevin Gausman looks to raise his record to 9-1 on the season, as he takes the mound for the Giants, while Ohtani takes the mound for the Angels, as he looks for his fourth win of the season against just one loss.

Offensive Options Aplenty: Giants have what it takes offensively, can their pitching keep pace?

Published on by moepeaLeave a comment

By Morris Phillips

A look at the Giants’ roster moves on Monday ahead of their two-game visit to Anaheim to face the Angels show the team has the wherewithal to keep its offensive production at a division-winning level.

Now what can they do to bolster their starting rotation and bullpen?

The Giants announced that LaMonte Wade Jr. and Jason Vosler had been demoted to make room for Darin Ruf and Alex Dickerson, who are ready to return to action following recent injuries. Wade was a surprise given his versatility and production thus far in June, but with a minor league option remaining, he was moved where a struggling Mike Tauchman or Austin Slater might have been candidates.

Meanwhile, the club keeps humming. Six wins in a seven-game homestand with five of those games the team producing double-digit hits have the team batting average above the MLB average for the first time this season at .241 (.239). The team’s calling card–majestic home runs–have continued their record pace, the Giants now are tied for the lead in homers with 107 (Toronto Blue Jays). That combination of numbers, along with a very competitive 3.32 ERA (4th best in MLB) for the team’s staff show that winning close games with big hits is a proven formula. 72 games into the season, the Giants continue to lead the NL West and have the best record in baseball.

But with the Dodgers and Padres breathing down their necks, they can’t afford to stand still. Additions to the pitching staff appear to be the best way to improve the club. Don’t expect anything pricey with so many big ticket players available this offseason, and the Giants ready to pounce with many of their heavy contracts expiring, but an additional starter and a versatile bullpen arm appear to be at the top of the list.

Regarding the starting rotation, two things appear clear: the team won’t be patient with Aaron Sanchez, who has biceps issues, but also a reoccurrence of his blister issues that have slowed his production in recent years. And while the club is ecstatic with the 25-year old Sammy Long, he hasn’t won a rotation spot based on one start and three, encouraging appearances.

And don’t expect much movement roster-wise in the coming two weeks. The Giants have an advantage schedule with two days off surrounding their trip to Anaheim, then home games leading up to the All-Star break starting with a visit from the A’s. Meanwhile, the Dodgers and Padres are beating up on each other in a series that starts tonight in San Diego. If anything, a 70-game start like the Giants have had has increased their patience: they’re unlikely to fade even if they struggle head-to-head with their two division rivals.

The Giants open their two-game set on Tuesday with Anthony DeSclafani facing Andrew Heaney at 6:38pm.

SAN FRANCISCO–The San Francisco Giants belted four more homers and Sammy Long made the most of of his first career start as they crushed the Philadelphia Phillies 11-2 on Sunday afternoon at Oracle Park.

The Giants won the three-game series, finishing 6-1 on their seven-game homestand and have won five of its last six games. The Phillies have lost four of their past six games.

Sammy Long (1-0) made his first start of his professional career after his first two appearances came in after an opener had started the game.

“I thought in the second inning he made a great adjustment and started throwing more strikes,” said Giants manager Gabe Kapler on Long. “As the game went on he started to feature his curve ball more. His stuff continued to stay strong throughout the outing and I felt good about letting him go a little deeper in the game today.”

Long was brilliant over six innings, giving up only four hits while striking out six with just one walk to earn his first major league win. Long had a strong cheering section of family and friends sitting in the lower box area. His only mistake was a fastball up in the zone that JT Realmuto hit for a two run homer in the third inning.

“Having them there adds a little bit more of emotion,” said Long on his strong family support in the stands. “I try to keep that under wraps but I feel them there. I feel the energy that they bring. It’s a special deal being so close to home and do it in front of them.”

The Giants (46-26) busted out the lumber as they have been all season long. Their four home runs of the day improved their total to a Nation League leading 107. They are tied for the major league lead with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Willmar Flores went 4-4 with two solo home runs and has six on the season. His 22 RBI on the season has him tied for fifth on the Giants along with Alex Dickerson. He extended huis hitting steak to nine games.

“I think he’s (Flores) a great offensive player. His process has been excellent. He’s always prepared whether he’s starting a game of coming off the bench. We’ll expect that from him going forward as well,” Kapler said.

Mike Yastrzemski gave the Giants an early lead in the first inning with his ninth home run of the season, a two-run shot into the arcade in right field off Phillies (34-35) starter Zach Eflin. He scored on a wild pitch in the seventh inning.

Brandon Crawford continues his hitting terror and being the best hitter in the Giants lineup. He hit his team leading 16th home run of the season in the third inning, a two-run shot to centerfield, that gave the Giants a 5-2 lead at the time. He barley missed his second home run of the game in the eighth inning when he long drive to centerfield bounced off the top of the wall back into the field of play. His 2-4 afternoon with four RBI, gave him 47 on the season, which also leads the Giants.

“I’m trying to put a good swing on the ball every at bat to help out team win, not necessarily get All-Star votes,” said Crawford regarding if his recent success is helping him get more votes by the fans for the mid-summer classic.

Steven Duggar added an RBI double in the sixth inning.

Elfin (2-6) went five innings giving up seven runs (six earned) on nine hits, striking out six and walking none in the losing effort.

GAME NOTES: Right handed pitcher John Brebbia was returned from his rehab assignment and reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to today’s game. Left handed pitcher Connor Menez was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento following yesterday’s game and right handed pitcher Aaron Sanchez was transferred to the 60-day IL.

San Francisco have not lost consecutive days at Oracle Park since May 21-23 when they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Giants are now 20-6 this season following a loss.

The announced attendance was 18,265. This was the last home game that had a limit of 50% capacity. The ballpark will be at 100% capacity when the Giants host the Oakland A’s for a three-game series starting on June 25th.

Rhys Hoskins uses career-high six RBIs to bring home Phillies win 13-6

Philadelphia Phillies’ Rhys Hoskins, second from right, gets a three run home run in the seventh inning scoring ahead of Hoskins Ronald Torreyes, left, and Luke Williams, second from left at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Sat Jun 19, 2021 (AP News photo)

~ By Pearl Allison Lo

~ June 19, 2021

~ Philadelphia’s Hoskins, a native Californian, had two home runs in a 13-6 rout, halting what would have been the San Francisco Giants’ longest winning streak of the season. 

On the day of Juneteenth, now officially recognized as a federal holiday, the host team Giants paid homage by donning uniforms like the San Francisco Sea Lions wore, playing in the West Coast Negro Baseball Association. 

The scoring began right away with both teams trading off equal amounts of runs once San Francisco got on the board, until the bottom of the third.

Two was not Giants’ starting pitcher Alex Wood’s number to start off the game. After a strikeout took him to two outs, he intentionally walked Bryce Harper and a wild pitch moved runners to second and third. With two strike counts, Wood then unintentionally walked Andrew McCutchen to load the bases and hit rookie Alec Bohm to put a number on the scoreboard. The first marked an over 30 pitch count for Wood.  

San Francisco replied with run support as LaMonte Wade also led off with a single and Mike Yastrzemski followed with a home run to take the 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first. 

To start the second, Wood got two outs but then Odubel Herrera reached base due to a throwing error by second baseman Donovan Solano. Teammate Hoskins took advantage as he sent the ball soaring for his first home run as the Phillies’ retook the lead. 

Both teams used two-run doubles and RBI singles to put together three-run innings in the bottom of the second and top of the third. 

The Giants’ Brandon Belt sent a baseball splashing into McCovey Cove to mark the game’s first tie. This inning also initiated the first of both starters’ exits and ensuing zeroes on the scoreboard. Ranger Suarez came in for Philadelphia starter Aaron Nola after he walked Solano on 10 pitches.  

Despite protests by Wood, Dominic Leone entered the game in relief to begin the fourth.

The multiple-inning tie remained until the Phillies’ Ronald Torreyes broke it in the sixth with a solo home run. Hoskins made it 8-6 with a RBI double. 

Philadelphia scored their most runs in an inning in the seventh with four. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases. After a mound visit with pitcher Conner Menez, he was able to get two outs with one runner scoring on a sacrifice fly. Hoskins then fully cleared the bases with a three-run home run to double his teams’ lead over San Francisco to 12-6. 

In the top of the eighth, a 2-1 count marked Harper’s helmet being nicked by Menez’s throw, as it flew off Harper’s head. Harper remained at home plate.

The bottom of the eighth saw a delay due to the pitching mound being repacked for Phillies’ pitcher Archie Bradley. 

Against Philadelphia’s five relief pitchers, the Giants’ hitters struck out seven times and were held to two hits.

Up Next: San Francisco looks to rebound and decide the series on Father’s Day tomorrow Sunday at 1:05pm. 

Cueto’s strong start lead Giants past Phillies 5-3

San Francisco pitcher Johnny Cueto delivers a pitch against the Philadelphia Phillies line up in the first inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Fri Jun 18, 2021 (AP News photo)

by Marko Ukalovic

SAN FRANCISCO—Johnny Cuteo is starting look like his old self.

The veteran right handed pitcher made an impressive start, pitching six solid innings as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 in the opening game a three-game series on Friday evening at Oracle Park.

The Giants have five games in a row and have baseball’s best record at 45-25. They are 20 games over .500 for the first time this season. The Phillies dropped a game under .500 with the loss and sit four and half games behind the New York Mets in second place in the NL East.

It wasn’t exactly how Cuteto wanted to begin the game when he gave up a lead off home run to Phillies centerfielder Odubel Herrera on the fourth pitch of the ballgame. Bryce Harper thought he had the Phillies third consecutive hit of the first inning, only to have Brandon Crawford gobble up a hard shot up the middle that ended in a 6-4-3 double play.

Cueto settled down after the first inning. He only gave up four more hits the rest of the way as he finished with five strikeouts and no walks in just 94 pitches.

“He’s always a strike thrower,” said Giants manager Gabe Kapler of Cueto. “He pitched to contact. He’s not scared of that contact. He was able to go six innings (tonight) in large part because his defense played well behind him.”

The Giants rallied in the bottom of the second for three runs to take the lead. Two doubles, a single, a wild pitch and a pass ball were the recipe needed as Phillies starter Vince Velasquez was a bit wild during the long inning.

Andrew McCutchen tied the game in the top of the fourth when hit his 12th home run of the season in the fourth inning after a bloop single by Bryce Harper.

“I feel that with every outing I’m improving,” said Cueto. “I think with every outing, I feel better and that’s how I want to keep it going.”

That was all the Phillies offense was able to generate off Giants pitching the rest of the evening. Dominic Leone and Tyler Rogers pitched a perfect seventh and eight inning. Jake McGee put the nail in the coffin in the 9th inning to pick up his 14th save in 16 chances.

The Giants tacked on singles runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Lamont Wade Jr. had a good evening with the bat as he went 2-3 with 2 RBI, including a triple that scored Cueto, which was entertaining in itself as he threw off his helmet before second base and ran like his life depended on it, who walked right before Wade Jr’s deep shot to centerfield that just eluded the reach of Herrera.

“I just want to be productive right now. I’m going to keep working, keep grinding. I just want to stay consistent and help this team win ball games,” Wade Jr. said.

Brandon Belt, who is on a hot streak, hit his 10th home run in the fifth inning to complete the game’s scoring. He is the third Giant to have double-digit home runs this season.

GAME NOTES: Cueto has surrendered eight home runs on the season. He is now in a three-way tie with Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood for the team lead.

Cueto also slipped and fell after throwing a pitch in the third inning. He was more embarrassed than injured on the play as he smiled after getting up and dusting himself off.

All three games of the series are being broadcasted on the Peacock Network Streaming service. This is the first time the Giants have been on NBC Universal’s streaming service.

The announced attendance was 16,157.

UP NEXT: The Giants and Phillies battle it out again in game two on Saturday 6/19 at 1:05pm at Oracle Park. Alex Wood vs Aaron Nola is the pitching matchup.

Kaprielian haunts Yanks in Bronx return; Kemp and Olson supply the Big Fly in A’s 5-3 win

The Oakland A’s starter James Kaprielian delivers to the New York Yankees line up at Yankees Stadium in first inning on Fri Jun 18, 2021 (AP News photo)

By Jessica Kwong

NEW YORK–The Oakland A’s beat the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium 5-3 on Friday night to extend the longest active winning streak in the league to seven games.

Tony Kemp hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning that put the A’s up 5-3 and neither team scored after that. Oakland (44-27) is now a season-high 17 games over .500.

A’s right-handed pitcher James Kaprielian got his revenge on the Yankees team that traded him along with two other players back in 2017. Kaprielian struck out two in his first inning. He retired his first eight batters before walking Brett Gardner. Kaprielian allowed only three hits and seven punchouts in 5 2/3 innings.

In the first inning, Matt Olson homered on a fly ball to right field to put the A’s up 1-0. Mark In the third, Canha singled on a ground ball to center fielder Brett Gardner and Elvis Andrus scored and gave the A’s a 2-0 lead. DJ LeMahieu hit a home run on a line drive to right center field allowing Gardner to score and tying the game at 2-2.

In the fifth inning, Rougned Odor hit a home run on a fly ball to center field to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead. That was one of Kaprielian’s mistakes.

But in the sixth inning, Tony Kemp hit a 2-2 slider from lefty Wandy Peralta for a three-run homer with Matt Chapman and Sean Murphy scoring to put the A’s back up 5-3.

Yankees starting pitcher James Taillon did not get through the fifth inning. He allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings and was pulled after only 76 pitches.

A crowd of 24,037 attended Yankee Stadium, which was back to full capacity for the first time since the pre-pandemic times.

“That’s what we been waiting for,” Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge said. “Since the start of 2020, playing in this stadium with no fans, they played the fake crowd noise, but that doesn’t compare, not even close, to what a packed house at Yankee Stadium any night brings.”

Oakland started their 10-game road trip 1-0 and improved to 19-9 on the road.

First pitch for game 2 of the three-game series is at 10:05 a.m. —

Giants podcast with Michael:

#1 The San Francisco Giants (43-25) swept a four game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks (20-49) which part of glass half full and half empty scenario do you look back at in the series, the Giants benefited by keeping ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the standings by 2.5 games or just taking advantaged of a bad team who set the all time road loss record?

#2 The Diamondbacks broke a decades old record that was held by the 1963 New York Mets and the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics which only could mean a lot of bad pitching, no hitting got them this far like the Mets and A’s teams of those eras.

#3 The Giants on the other hand looked like they were more like in the batting cage rather than playing a regulation game with an accumulated 54 hits for the four game series and no signs of showing the mercy rule.

#4 Talk about the three touted Diamondbacks who will most likely be part of the Arizona fire sale, Eduardo Escobar .241, Ketel Marte .341, and Madison Bumgarner 4-5 ERA 5.73.

#5 The Giants open up a three game series starting Friday night with the Philadelphia Phillies who will start Vince Velasquez (2-1 ERA 4.25) and for the Giants Johnny Cueto (4-3 ERA 4.00) break down this pitching match for tonight?
