Arizona defeated the Cubs again, Philly knocked Miami back a game, and Cincinnati lost to St Louis again.

Today

Giants finish up with Colorado, a rare Sunday evening start at Oracle Park: 5:10 PDT. Too bad the Rockies can't hang around for awhile, huh?

The rivals finish up their respective series: Marlins at Phillies, Diamondbacks at Cubs, Reds hosting the Cardinals.  

Yesterday's Game

Once again, the Giants scored early and often, and this time they rode a fine pitching effort from Logan Webb to that rarest of rare things, a blowout win. Mike Yastrzemski, in the leadoff spot, was 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, two RBI. Thairo Estrada hit his 11th homer in the first for a 2-0 lead, then they piled it on against Chase Anderson in the fourth with four hits, a walk, a wild pitch, and some smart baserunning. Chased, Anderson yielded to rookie Victor Vodnik, who surrendered three more in the sixth, and the only question was how deep into the game Webb would go. He left after six shutout innings, allowing only three singles, and improved his record to 10-12 and his ERA to 3.40.
