It's friggen hot out! Too hot. We played a double-dip in the beginning of the 'heat dome' affect that's going to see prolonged intence heat in the region. It was a great day of ball at the park and a few personal and team milestones were achieved in the process. Most noteworthy, Steven Latos with his SECOND career 17 strikeout game. The guy is just a friggen clydesdale that puts his head down and works every time out. He also had a day at the dish in game two. Instead of breaking it all down, here's the highights (sorry if I missed anyone):
-Latty, again. have a day.
-Kale stayed HOT going 7-8 with a Bomb, triple, double and three singles.
-Riki, who has been an offensive leader for us for years, was 4-5 with a huge bomb.
-Dayton also just making it happen at all times by going 4-5 with a double, and gunned a potential base stealer, all while catching a game in a sauna.
-Sully stepping up to the plate and having a perfect day at the dish, ripping an oppo single and working a walk...then got gunned at second.
-Dobber looked studly on the bump in game 2, scattering 3 hits.
-Jared getting walked on ball 4, being called back for some reason, then wearing one for ball 5...then got dotted again as you can see in the photo...welts.
-Jordan Lee & CD notching their first Knocks of the season.
-Cullum creating another rundown...this time he was safe!
-Kenny getting dotted twice, again.
-Dubbsy just being solid, as always setting the table for the boys, then driving in runs when he gets the chance.
-Other things.
-Team stuff: First time in Giants history we scored in every inning of a seven inning game, All starters had at least one RBI in a game, Every player (substitutes included) scored at least a run in a game.
Next up is our bye-week, which couldn't be timed better as the heat is socked in for the forseeable future. Stay cool and as always, hydrate or diedrate!
