Harrison Bader was the first Giants leadoff batter to hit a grand slam since 2011!
Looks like I should have driven up to Sac to watch the Giants & #Athletics game today which the Giants won 10-1 after a blow out 8 inning romp which has been a rare thing for these Giants so far this season but I probably wouldn't have stayed til the 8th inning anyway. So, it's just as well that I didn't go but it's nice to learn that the Giants (now 20-27) won & took the series from the A's (23-23) who are still in 1st place in the AL West with just a 500 record. 🤷♂️
After beating the A's 10-1 today, taking a 4-3 lead in their current road trip, the Giants head to the valley of the sunburn to take on the Diamondbacks tomorrow. 6:40PM PT start time.
Houser (2-4), gets the win, Springs (3-4), the loss. Fans voted Luis Arraez as the player of the game.
Houser may be dull as dishwater but he got the job done. And that's what counts.
Lots of stellar defense. And the bats came to life.
If yesterday was a bounce back game, today was bounce forward.
