Why is Kershaw still in? He made 109 pitches thru 7 inning…
Manny!
Well watta ya know.
Thank you Clayton and Manny.
Kershaw and Zito battle it out all afternoon and both get a no decision. This is something that has bugged me for a long time. A guy can come in, get one out and get a W while the starting pitcher pitches his guts out for 7 and gets squadoosh.
Another series won, and this one was big. We did it with 5 hits. Yoiks.
Clayton grew up a bit today. Pitching in a zip game — later his team pulls it out. Everyone is happy. He did not get the win, but suck it up, the team won.
Troncoso’s win today was named for Phil Reagan years ago, when he picked up wins like this — vulture.
Zero hits with runners in scoring position today. And no runners in scoring position today either. Yet pitching won today. A great game to watch and a very important victory. Never bow to the giants.
