Sixteen hits subdue South-siders
Baseball is crazy. After an ugly 9-2 whuppin’ by the Cubs yesterday the Giants responded with a 9-run inning today at Wrigley Field. Cubbies fans were streaming for the exits in the top of the 11th after the Giants piled on with an improbable outburst against Ryan Pressly. Heliot Ramos led off with a double but the Manfred Man Christian Koss failed to read the play and didn’t score. A Patrick Bailey single broke the 5-5 deadlock. Brett “Maverick” Wisely bunted, scoring Ramos, and was safe at first after the attempt at the plate. Mike Yastrzemski walked, Willy Adames was hit by a pitch, and then Jung Hoo Lee, Matt Chapman, and Wilmer Flores all hit singles. It was 12-5 when Pressly was pulled for Caleb Thielbar. Koss made an out, Ramos doubled for the second time in the inning, Bailey hit a sac fly, and David Villar, pinch-hitting for Wisely, made the last out.
That nuttiness erased an ugly 9th where Ryan Walker and Erik Miller failed to hold a 5-3 lead. But the Giants didn’t fold, Miller got it done in the 10th, and the lineup took advantage in the 11th. Justin Verlander started and went five, allowing three runs. Randy Rodriguez, Camilo Doval, and Tyler Rogers each had a scoreless frame. Lee and Chapman were hitting stars with six hits and five RBI between them in the three-four spots, that was matched by Ramos and Bailey in the seven-eight slots. A good night for the club!
The rubber match of the three-game set is tomorrow at 11:20 Pacific. Robbie Ray gets the call.
Go Giants!

p.s. I neglected to do a “second inning” post after yesterday which was Game 36. My bad. Here’s how things look:
As you can see things got a little tougher. 22-14 (.611) put the Giants 2-1/2 back and in third place. Tonight’s big win gains them a game on the NL West leaders as both LA (24-12) and SD (23-12) lose. The 23-14 Giants are now 1-1/2 back.
