On the MLB Podcast with Matt:
1 The San Francisco Giants took another loss on Saturday losing by a run to the Minnesota Twins 3-2 it was their second straight loss on the current homestand our own Morris Phillips will have that game recap
2 Friday’s loss was no better as Twins starter Ervin Santana pitched a gem shutting out the Giants 4-0 on four hitter at AT&T Park
3 Santana also helped his own cause with three RBIs nothing like one wave of the bat
4 It was a laugher on Friday night in Tampa Bay as the Rays were spraying the ball all over the yard off A’s starter Andrew Triggs who was placed on the 15 day DL effective Saturday morning. The Rays on Friday hit for 13 runs on 15 hits to beat the A’s 13-4
5 It’s most likely arm issues for Triggs as he struggled throughout Friday’s game and is being observed by the A’s medical staff and it was decided to put Triggs on the DL following the game Friday night as announced on Saturday
