On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Marko:

#1 Marko, St Louis starter Sonny Gray goes seven innings against the Giants and pitched a perfect game going into the sixth inning before giving up a hit. Gray just went through the Giants line up like butter.

#2 For Sonny Gray he pitched seven innings, giving up one hit and one run picking up the win. Gray had retired the first 20 hitters he faced.

#3 It was Patrick Bailey’s solo shot over the right field fence that ended Gray’s no hit bid in the sixth. The problem is the Giants struggled to get hits in this contest and it was another case of good pitching beating good hitting.

#4 Cardinal reliever Ryan Helsley who has a Major League leading 26 saves shut the door on the Giants in the top of the ninth pitching one inning and striking out two hitters.

#5 Giants try and regroup Monday night as they face the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs were in last place in the NL Central and have move up from fifth to fourth place after picking up a win over the New York Mets. The Cubs are three games under .500. The Cubs and Giants have not announced a starting pitcher as of Sunday night.
