Giants blessed by Angels with a miracle 9th inning, win 8-3
Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty ImagesTonight, the San Francisco Giants faced a team that’s been struggling a lot worse than they have been since August 1st. A weekend in Oakland left me in a daze — did that really happen? Did they really lose two games to a team giving away wins? And here they were tonight facing an Angels team that’s 0-6 in August and just 11-11 in the second half.
But the Angels have Shohei Ohtani, which is better than what the A’s — or Giants — have.
That ground-ball single from Shohei Ohtani left the bat at 111.4 mph. It was his 32nd ball hit at 111+ mph this year.#SFGiants have 11 as a team.
