Giants Win!

It was a workmanlike game, the kind we thought we'd see more of this season. Rodón was effective and a couple of lefty bats (Yaz and LuGone) got big extra-base hits when they were needed. FNG southpaw Thomas Szapucki (acquired with J.D. Davis and two others in the Ruf deal) gave up a homer to the first batter he saw which seems a fitting intro to his Giants tenure, at least for this season. He's given up 16 runs in 5-1/3 MLB IP which calculates to a 27.00 ERA! (A bunch of those were against the Giants.) But he just turned 26 and is noted for a big-spin curveball, a low-slot release, and a 92-94 mph fastball.
