On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips:
#1 Morris, the San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Baily ended the ball game on Friday night with a three run ninth inning walk off home run which ended a pitcher’s duel against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 3-0 win at Oracle Park.
#2 It was a scoreless game up until the bottom of the ninth and the Giants Michael Conforto walked and Matt Chapman followed up with a single and that brought up Patrick Bailey whose been seeing the ball well and whose hitting .300.
#3 Bailey said during the post game scrum that he’s tried to build his confidence at the plate. Bailey said he struggled with his confidence last season. So he’s confident going to the plate no matter what this season.
#4 Giants reliever Camilo Doval closed the door on the Pirates coming in in the ninth and pitching one inning giving up two hits with one walk and striking out one batter. Doval ended the game with a ball that went right back to the mound Doval threw home for the force and Bailey threw to first to retire the hitter. Doval gets the light show every time he gets the call and leaves the bullpen for the mound.
#5 San Francisco Giants RHP Jordan Hicks (2-0 ERA 1.61) gets the start against the Pittsburgh Pirates Martin Perez (1-1 ERA 3.45) first pitch 6:05pm PDT at Oracle Park.
