Five pitchers from the San Francisco Giants combined for 10 scoreless innings. Now, the Giants have won 10 of their last 12 games, winning the first two games of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies after being sept by them in the 4-game series in the beginning of the month.
Bob Melvin’s speech:
“We are doing our best job at the game’s final. Every time we have an opportunity, we feel we are going to win the game if it arrives late”.
On the other side we have to remark the great game that Luis Matos has had offensively and defensively in the central field as a result of the Jung Hoo Lee’s absence which will not return until 2025. Matos has an offensive line of .258/.286/.394 with 8 runs, 17 H, 2 HR, 20 RBI, 3 BB y 7 K.
