SF Giants nearly let sweep slip away against Pirates, but Thairo Estrada saves the day
San Francisco still trails San Diego by 6.5 games and Philadelphia by 6.0 games for the third and final spot, with the Brewers between them, but has a chance to make up more ground over the next nine games, all of which come against opponents that share something in common with the team the Giants just easily dispatched: a losing record.
“It’ll be a big next two weeks for us. … Hopefully that’ll have some momentum carrying into this week and down the stretch.” After taking over for Wood to start the seventh, John Brebbia faced four batters and retired none of them. He walked the leadoff man, No. 9 hitting catcher Jason Delay, and allowed a single before serving up the longest ball hit at Oracle Park this season to former San Francisco outfield prospect Bryan Reynolds.
Doval was pitching in his third straight game. Brebbia was making his major-league-leading 55th appearance. “As soon as I made contact, I knew it was gone,” Estrada said through Spanish-language translator Erwin Higueros. “I enjoyed every minute of it.”“He’s just been so dependable for us. It’s rare that he gets to be the star of the game, though he’s deserving often,” Kapler said. “You know, you don’t expect a home run. But you probably should now. He does hit homers. He hits homers in big spots. It shouldn’t surprise us anymore.
