Alex Wood pitched five-plus shutout innings taking down the bulk of a bullpen game in a 3-0 win.
TORONTO — Facing two old friends Tuesday night, the Giants offered a reminder that all the magic pixie dust was still in their clubhouse.
Brandon Belt nearly did in his former team, doubling in the eighth to put the tying run on second base with two outs, but the Giants called on Camilo Doval, who got World Baseball Classic teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to fly out to end the threat and shut the door in the ninth, recording his National League-leading 23rd save.
It took the work of Tyler Rogers to extinguish a fire in the seventh, though. Wood shut down Toronto’s lineup from the second through the sixth, but the first batter of the seventh, Daulton Varsho, ripped a leadoff double. Two sacrifices would have been enough to tie the score, but Rogers made Danny Jansen and Cavan Biggio look foolish to record the final two outs of the inning by strikeout, stranding Varsho at third, recording his 19th scoreless appearance in 22 outings since the start of May.
Wood was called for a balk, advancing Bo Bichette to third base, and giving him a 3-2 count on Belt. He struck him out on the next pitch, ending the inning, and flipped his glove toward either the Blue Jays dugout or home plate umpire, clearly perturbed by the incident.Thairo Estrada gave the Giants their first hit of the evening with a soft single to right field with one out in the fifth, then stole second base .
