Milwaukee BrewersvsSan Francisco Giants
MIL 0/SF 3
Things to say
The Giants shut out the Brewers 3-0 at Oracle Park.
01
opener
Giants took it 3-0 over Milwaukee. Total pitchers' duel. The whole night hinged on run prevention.
02
key player
The Giants' starter was the story. Dude got into his stuff early and the Brewers never touched him.
03
hot take
Milwaukee's the best record in baseball and they got shut out by a last-place club. That heart of the order went quiet.
04
deep cut
Three runs was all it took because the bullpen slammed the door. Zero traffic late, nobody in scoring position.
05
exit
Brewers still cruising at 66-40 though. Watch them bounce back next game and take the series.
The recap
The last-place Giants had no business hanging with the best team in baseball, but somebody in that San Francisco rotation got into his stuff and blanked the Brewers 3-0 at Oracle. Milwaukee's been mashing all year, and their bats just went quiet — the heart of the order never got a good look all night.
Three runs was plenty when the pitching's dealing a shutout like that. Getaway-day stunner, and Milwaukee heads out of the yard with nothing to show for it.
