Are you frekin' kidding me? Bennett has thrown 55 pitches, 44 for strikes. He's the man. 

Give the man couple of more days off between starts!!!!!!!

I wonder how long Abreu's cold swing lasts this time? 

Never seen a player go from hot to cold with nothing in-between.

Contreras has a bit of that too

Must be a Venezuelan thing

[Nick]

Willson Contreras grounds out, third baseman Buddy Kennedy to first baseman Bryce Eldridge. Contrears runs hard to 1B and trips over the bag. 

1 Out

Per MLB Gameday live updates.

But have him ready to pitch when does go out there in the 1st

Sogard is a dirt dog

[FredLynn]

Looked like the fan missed it

He's a Tracy guy and should not be replaced unless he goes as cold as Mona now is

[Nick]

I'm at work. Of course the game is on NBC. I can't watch the game. Life can be cruel at times.

Could be, but no one does it better or more often than Abreu.

Bennetts Fb is down to 92-93 but his offspeed stuff has got them fooled. We have a group of pitchers, not just throwers. Well done young man.

[vegasbob]

6 full on 65 pitches after 23 in the first.  

Does Bennett room with Bello on road trips ?  Amazing recovery

[iortiz]

Sogard is locked in man and Bennet has settled down nicely to the point that might go all the way.

Just did some research and  discovered the Giants, surprisingly,  have one of the highest OPS against LH pitching.

The HP ump has the shiniest head in MLB

Toronto and Seattle are the worst offensively against LH's.

Why would you bring facts into a deep discussion of baseball?

[FredLynn]

Rafaela is dead last in getting challenges wrong in all of baseball 

[FredLynn]

Pathetic 

More little league baseball 

 

[Jasonbay44]

That cannot happen 

[FredLynn]

Abreu should have been backing that up 

[Tedballgame]

Feels like a game that could get away thanks to the two errors. 

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I give Tracy credit for pitching to Killer Koss. 

In some Little League tournaments, managers are intentionally walking Little League home run hitters.

[FredLynn]

I’d drill Devers here

[jad]

Wow.  Wht was Rafy looking for on THAT pitch??

[vegasbob]

Devers looking foolish 

[Tedballgame]

Good outing by Jake

That didn't sound right so I rechecked. The Giants actually are near the bottom in OPS against LH pitching. That makes more sense. The Cubs are the best at .806.
