The San Francisco Giants lost to the Washington Nationals tonight, 10-1. The bright side: they were not shut out. That's it. That's your great news. The Nationals racked up 6 runs in the second inning, and the Giants handled to affiliate to get one back in the third

. LaMonte Wade, Jr. strolled with one out, and Joc Pederson increased him to third prior to J. D. Davis brought him home with a sac fly. Golf claps. Which is funny, because at the start of the video game, it felt like things were going to go vice versa. Nationals starter Josiah Gray threw 7 straight rounds to begin the game before ultimately throwing a strike and getting sarcastic praise from Nationals followers. The Giants weren't able to take advantage of those complimentary base runners, though. Neither again when the 2nd inning started with a stroll to Mike Yastrzemski, that stole second also, before the next three batters went down in order. And after that the bloodshed started. Let me preface this: You will review the box rating for Logan Webb and assume this was perhaps among his worst begins. However it was not. What that box score isn't going to tell you is for how long each at bat of the 2nd inning was. Exactly how well the Nationals batters battled and fouled off every excellent pitch, pushing Webb's pitch count sky high. It won't tell you exactly how Webb was pitching for soft get in touch with, just to see said call regularly find holes in the protection. Allow's undergo it. Joey Meneses was the very first Nationals batter of the inning, turning nine pitches right into a line drive solitary to right

. Keibert Ruiz adhered to with a 10-pitch battle for a stroll. Dominic Smith saw 10 pitches too prior to hitting a groundball that divided the protection between 2nd and 3rd, allowing Meneses to rack up. Corey Dickerson only saw three pitches before doing the precise same thing yet on the right side, scoring Ruiz. Luis Garca struck out on 4 pitches, which was a much required yet short lived break for Webb. Alex Call tripled on his 3rd pitch, scoring both Smith and Dickerson. Before CJ Abrams hit a two-run homer to appropriate facility area, scoring Telephone call as well. Directly, I can't feel regrettable regarding that last one. It was Abrams' bobblehead night. Great for him. Anyway, that was it for Webb. With 51 pitches and having just recorded one out in the second inning, he was pulled for Sean Manaea, who got the other two outs in rather fast sequence. Yet the pain did not finish there. Things began to really feel frighteningly acquainted as Garca singled to lead off the 4th inning, before Telephone call strolled. It seemed like the start of the second inning throughout once more. But the Giants had the ability to get Call out on a fielder's choice that saw Abrams reach first. Thomas after that doubled up the left area line, Yastrzemski never ever had a possibility to obtain it, and that scored the Nationals' 7th run of the video game. A string of three songs afterwards would knock in the last 3. It resembled every round struck by the Nationals rolled a natural 20 on evading the Giants' defense. Just harsh to enjoy. Manaea, nonetheless, wound up being the hero the Giants required tonight, saving the bullpen by eating 5 and 2 thirds innings. Sure, he permitted four runs, however.

. I'll take it. As Hunter Pence said throughout the broadcast, that's baseball. Often all the cards are piled versus you and you just need to shrug it off and go on.
