The San Francisco Giants struck out 17 times on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. That’s not a typo: the San Francisco Giants struck out 17 times.
Still won though.
So allow me to reheat and repeat the intro to yesterday’s recap.
I would not call the San Francisco Giants season boring, but it has become a touch formulaic. You know the drill by now: the starting pitcher will be somewhere between good and dominant, either mowing down hitters or pulling a Houdini act to escape stressful innings. The offense will put runs on the board — not as many as you grew accustomed to in 2020, but certainly enough.
