The San Francisco Giants six-game winning streak came to an end with a 4-0 loss against the St. Louis Cardinals.
On a hot, bright, sweaty, sunscreen-in-the-eyes Missouri afternoon, starter Jakob Junis re-matched against Dakota Hudson. Junis put up similar numbers to his May 8th start, going 5.2 innings, allowing 2 earned runs on six hits with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. He didn’t have the best feel of his slider, but he maintained control over counters with an early in the count sinker. He didn’t dominate hitters, but he ate up innings and kept the Giants in the game, which was listed in the preferred qualifications when San Francisco posted the job for a deep-rotation, spot starter.
