San Francisco Giants

Ty Blach shut down the Dodgers last night with seven innings pitched and just one run allowed. In an interview with The Audible on Wednesday morning, Blach talked about what’s keyed his career success against the Dodgers.

The first honor for the home run king has an official date. The Giants announced Wednesday that they will honor Bonds with a plaque on the AT&T Park’s Wall of Fame on Saturday, July 8. The ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. before the Giants face off against the Miami Marlins. Bonds made his […]

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow joined the Murph and Mac Show on Wednesday and talked about the club’s turnaround over the last week.

Ty Blach turned in the latest of what has been a string of quality starts for Giants pitchers on Tuesday night in a close win over the Dodgers. After the game, Bochy and Blach talked about the key to the staff’s recent success, and Blach’s dominance over the Dodgers in his short career.

The Giants won their fifth game in a row on Tuesday night with a 2-1 victory over the visiting Dodgers. The win ensured back-to-back series victories and moved the Giants’ record to 17-24. Brandon Belt hit his eighth homer of the season and Ty Blach delivered another quality start, the sixth in a row by Giants’ starters.

Rookie Christian Arroyo will make his first MLB start at second base on Tuesday for the Giants, marking the third different position he’s played with San Francisco in his 22 games with the team. Bruce Bochy said it’s becoming increasingly important for Giants players to be able to move around defensively, because it’s the best way to get themselves at-bats.

With right-fielder Hunter Pence being placed on the 10-day DL with a left hamstring strain, the Giant’s options in the outfield are starting to wear thin. However, San Francisco was given a glimmer of hope Monday with the performance of Mac Williamson. In his first game since being called up from Triple-A, Williamson went two for four with an RBI single and did a solid job defensively subbing in for Pence in right field.

In a Giants infield that is filled with defensive talent, nobody has been more impressive over the past few seasons than shortstop Brandon Crawford. He’s had an impressive .979 and .983 fielding percentage over the past two seasons respectively, and took home two gold gloves for his efforts. Crawford has been no slouch at the plate either, with two straight 84 RBI seasons and one silver slugger award to go along with his golden gloves.

The San Francisco Giants capped off a weekend series with the Cincinnati Reds with an 8-3 victory Sunday. Brandon Belt blasted his third home run in four games and the bullpen ended the weekend with a 14-inning scoreless streak. The Giants were also able to avenge a brutal series in Cincinnati last weekend, in which they were outscored 31-5 in a 3-game set.

Starters, relievers, and hitters all combined to help the Giants take three out of four games from Cincinnati over the weekend. With the Dodgers coming to town and the Giants still nine games under .500, the team is increasingly confident in its ability to climb the standings.
