Walks, wild pitches come back to bite Giants in the first of 19 matchups with NL West rivals.
LOS ANGELES — When the air is thick as it was Tuesday night over Chavez Ravine, it’s the mistake pitches outside the strike zone that make the difference.
He walked Max Muncy, then Cody Bellinger. And put both runners in scoring position on a Mr. Snappy-esque wild pitch — a breaking ball that flew well over the glove of catcher Joey Bart — before Chris Taylor drove both home on a single to right field.“I was pretty bad that inning,” Rodón said. “They don’t strike out very much and put the ball in play.”
Rodón regained composure and retired the next eight batters, until Taylor slapped a double in his next at-bat. But he stranded him at second base, and the score remained 2-0 until both starters left the game. So perhaps it was only fitting that the Giants’ only run came off a sacrifice fly traveled a mere 291 feet. But Luis Gonzalez’s meager pop fly proved more than enough distance for even Wilmer Flores to tag and score from third.
