San Francisco Giants podcast Stephen Ruderman:
#1 Wednesday the Kansas City Royals Salvador Perez got three hits and belted a two run home run. Bobby Witt Jr and Maikel Garcia contributed with two hits and two RBIs.
#2 The Royals came back from their loss on Tuesday night to take the three game series over the San Francisco Giants 8-4 on Wednesday.
#3 Even though the Royals scored three or fewer runs in their last seven games and scored four or less runs in their last 42 of 50 games this is a team that can compete.
#4 You can’t say the Giants did it without home run help. They got home runs from Matt Chapman, Patrick Bailey and Heliot Ramos. Ramos also hit a two run home run in the top of the ninth inning off Royals pitcher Lucas Erceg that closed the deficit in half 8-4.
#5 The Giants open a three game series in Washington on Friday night at Nationals Park. The Giants will start RHP Landen Roupp (2-3 ERA 4.11) the Nationals will start LHP MacKenzie Gore (2-4 ERA 3.67) first pitch 3:45pm PDT.
