Jeremy Affeldt and Jon Miller couldn’t even pretend the Battle of the Bay trophy matters. After Amy G explained the tiebreaker that’s not an actual tiebreaker, Affeldt’s reaction was essentially, “Wait, what? That doesn’t make any sense. You didn’t win anything.”
That trophy may be a meaningless marketing ploy, but the Giants’ hopes of winning the stupid thing are still alive. This game had echoes of last Friday’s game which the Giants won 7-1. Like last Friday, the Giants struggled to get anything going against Edwin Jackson in the early goings. Tonight, they took another one run lead into the seventh and finally added on.
