Thew San Francisco Giants as we go to press get victory #6 versus two defeats against their NL West rivals L.A. Dodgers in 2015. Brett Anderson the Dodgers starter held "Dodger Blue" in this one as he pitched five scoreless frames before imploding in the 7th.
His counterpart Tim Lincecum of the Gigantes was equally as good through not only five but two more frames after that. The Giants opened the scoring in the bottom half of the 6th on a Brandon Crawford RBI single making it 1-0 Gigantes after six.
Lincecum kept "Dodger Blue" scoreless in the 7th as the Gigantes finished off Anderson hanging a crooked three in the bottom half of the 7th. It was a Joe Panik RBI single and a Buster Posey two-run bomb who else is a Dodger Killer as he is certified and verified Posey is. That three-run frame gave the Gigantes a 4-0 lead as they get the shutout 4-0.
Anderson's line was 6 1/3 frames giving up three runs on six hits as he walked three and struck out seven. The Dodgers fall to 24-15 as Howie Kendrick was the lone dodger with two hits.
The Gigantes move to 22-18 as they have the Dodgers numbers and looked what the wind blew in for a Thursday "Get Away Day" Tilt...Clayton Kershaw vs the MadBum for the 3rd time in 2015 and how the Baseball Gods have given both Dodger Nation and Giants Nation this match up on the hill three times and we are not even in June...wow!
Note: Giants 6-2 vs Dodgers in 2015 heading into Kersh vs MadBum 3 on Thursday May 21st...
