Yesterday's Game
Johnny Cueto gave up two runs in the first, battled out of a bases-loaded pickle in the fifth, and was relieved with the sacks clogged again in the sixth. Caleb Baragar got out of it and earned his 5th win in the bottom of the frame when Austin "Welcome Back" Slater singled and Donovan Solano belted a home run for a 3-2 lead. One inning later, Brandon Belt pinch-hit for catcher Chadwick Tromp, who had homered in the third, and launched one into McCovey Cove for a big insurance run. Jarlin Garcia, Tony (0.69) Watson, and Tyler (gulp) Rogers made it hold up with three scoreless innings in relief.
Krukow on "Donnie Barrels" Solano: "His home runs always seem to give 'em the lead-- or give 'em a walk-off!"
