It was fair to wonder heading into Monday night’s game if it would be Drew Pomeranz final start as a member of the San Francisco Giants.
While Pomeranz is clearly not the same pitcher who was an All-Star in 2016 and a 17-game winner in 2017, he has shown enough flashes of that to make it difficult for the Giants to move on.
However, after he was shelled for seven earned runs in 4.1 innings of work against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his previous start, it looked like another bad outing on Monday could be the end of the line.
