Mhm on the hill tonight for the
Giants will be the veteran left
hander Alex would take a look at
what he has done in 19 starts
six and 84 to 1 E.R.A 96
strikeouts in 94 innings.
Christopher moral and away we
go.
Three and two moral takes
outside it's a leadoff walk.
So chris gets his job done.
If you're a leadoff man in
baseball, your job get on base
as often as possible.
So here's contreras, many people
feel including Willson Contreras
that these games here in san
Francisco at least the first
couple of games might be the
last ones in a cubs uniform.
Willson Contreras gets plunked
by that pitch and so now two on
and nobody out and now you have
the heart of the order coming
was also an all star one into
The count pitch, strikes out
swinging a fastball, got a 94
mile an hour fastball a little
bit up.
Think that was by design good
pitch Their first look.
Suzuki runner goes throw to 3rd
, perfect throw.
Talk about taking some momentum
out of an inning and this is
with a right handed hitter in
the box.
One thing that Suzuki does get
out of the way for which you see
the break.
Look at Suzuki duck and an
absolute strike on the dot.
David Villar catches, it just
drops the glove and gets you
out.
What a play from Joey Barton 2 &
one.
Suzuki Hits A Fly Ball to Right.
Yastrzemski is there and he'll
reach up and make the catch
short of the warning track.
That's how number three well
give Alex would credit and
really give Joey Barton credit.
That was a heck of a play to
take a deeper dive on Justin.
Still lefty is really dependent
on that fastball slider
combination.
As you see, he does mix in
occasional curveball and once in
a great while the changeup but
it's pretty much fastball slider
for Justin four and 64.0 to E.
R.A. As he takes the mound here
this evening, here's Slater
Slater hitting 2 87 5 home runs
, 22 runs batted in, Slater
takes strike three called
backdoor, breaking ball got him
and that's out.
Number one so ruffle stand in
against this inexperienced lefty
steal delivered and foul tipped
into the myth of john back to
back strikeouts to begin,
there's two away two down and
here's Wilmer flores 11 it on a
bounce to third backing up,
wisdom has it and throws him out
and good work by Justin steel
giants go 123 and up comes mike
Yastrzemski to two pitch.
Yastrzemski pops it up, third
base side, wisdom playing
shortstop has to come in, he's
underneath it now he backpedals
and he doesn't catch it.
Yastrzemski was hustling, give
him credit for that, he Not
taking it for granted and wisdom
couldn't catch it.
Yastrzemski ends up at 2nd
position Later with good speed
at 2nd, here's the 01, Slater
hits a little dribbler third
base side, it's rolling, rolling
, rolling.
It's going to stay fair and just
die on the grass.
Austin Slater's got himself an
infield hit.
Yastrzemski makes it to third.
So now Ruff ruff struck out his
first time up.
This is probably the best
possible matchup for the Giants
in a spot like this.
Now it's up to Wilmer flores to
come through and get the Giants
on the board.
The pitch is in the dirt and it
gets by the catcher.
Yastrzemski will come in to
score.
That's how the Giants get the
first run of the game.
It's one nothing.
I thought it hit Wilmer at
first.
It took such a wild bounce, cubs
are asking the video room
whether it might have hit him.
And David ross is coming out to
talk to Adrian johnson, I think
he and the cubs want to
challenge this.
If it hit Wilmer, there's no run
, the bases would be loaded, but
no run after review call on the
field is overturned.
We have a hit by pitch.
I mean, Mercedes with the bases
loaded, he hits a little blooper
to shallow center field and it's
going to get down base hit.
Yastrzemski Ian Slater right
behind him.
He'll score to nothing.
Giants around the third.
Wilmer And your mean Mercedes
didn't hit it hard, but what an
at bat!
! Another high fastball and he
went up and got it and flipped
it into shallow center field for
a two out, two run single, no
play Once it got by wisdom it
was going to be tough with a
runner at 3rd and two Outs later
drive to right field and it's
going to go right over the head
of Suzuki one hop up against the
wall.
Pr scores, it's a double for
slater for nothing.
Giants moral stepping in where
the cubs could use a long ball
towards Yastrzemski on the move
he reaches up and he makes the
extra base is taken away from
Christopher.
That's the kind of play the
cubs.
They have two walks, they have a
hit batter, those of their only
baserunners.
That's the kind of play that
kind of makes you think well
through six innings to play,
Alex would have been masterful,
79 pitches for the cubs, four
runs, five hits for the Giants
runs Part of the lineup for the
Cubs here in the 7th in half the
number three hitter ground ball
the middle and that's a base hit
, First hit of the night for the
cubs ears.
Patrick wisdom at third base,
two away hit in the air, fairly
deep left field.
Going back is Pederson at the
track at the wall leaps and this
one's gon Giants four Cubs to
and he smashed into that wall
and then came down pretty hard
on the warning track.
Hopefully Jax.
Okay, so the first two hits in
the game off of Alex would and
it's going to get him out of the
game.
So it's up to Niko horner Giants
need to win to, and this one
over Deval strikes out the side
and the Giants get back on track
as they snapped their losing
streak and they pick up the win
tonight.
Well, they played their best
game of the second half and
really it was a combination of
great defense, great pitching
and coming up with a timely
couple of hits and the streak is
over.
