Giants Winn!

SF 5  NYM 2

The Giants put up a couple of crooked numbers early and rode another strong start from rookie Keaton Winn to their 11th victory. Winn dominated through six, dinged only by Mets slugger Pete Alonso’s solo shot in the 5th, but ran out of gas in the 7th. Sterling Marte singled to open the frame and Francisco Lindor walked to bring up Alonso. Manager Bob Melvin responded with Ryan Walker who induced an infield fly for the first out. Brett Baty lined out and DJ Stewart grounded out to end the threat. Tyler Rogers had a clean 8th while Camilo Doval had an ugly 9th but they got the last six outs to seal the win.

Winn threw 87 pitches to 21 batters. His final line was 6+ IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 W, 6 K. He’s lowered his ERA to 3.54 which is bested only by Logan Webb (2.93) and Jordan Hicks (1.61).

Webb goes tomorrow night (6:45 PT) and Blake Snell is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon (12:45). It’s an off-day Thursday and then the Pirates come to town for three over the weekend.

Go Giants!
