How was your Friday night?
It soured quickly.
A 2-out dribbler off the bat of Jeff McNeil turned into a run scored. A pitch later Pete Alonso turned a 2-strikeout night into a 2-run woes-eraser blast to dead center. What was a 1-run hole became something insurmountable.
Pete Alonso has hit 10 jacks this year.
Giants pitching staff has allowed 27 HR in 19 games (so far). It took them 38 games to give up that many last year. pic.twitter.com/8YLFgwEiZj

But the death rattle for tonight came after the error by Bart. Eyes glazed over. Gum chewed vacantly. Hands went to the hips. Fingers played with the laces of gloves.
