Wood dazzles in home debut

The Giants made it two straight from the Marlins behind a superb start from lefty Alex Wood. He went seven full innings facing only 23 batters and allowing just one hit and one walk. The hit was a leadoff homer by Jazz Chisolm, Jr., but after that Wood dominated. I like that he works fast. He had seven strikeouts and nine groundouts. The Giants got a two-run homer from Mike Yastrzemski in the 3rd and held on to the 2-1 lead until a 3-run outburst in the 7th made it 5-1. Those insurance runs made the difference. Tyler Rogers pitched a clean 8th and Jake McGee struck out the first two in the 9th. Then Wilmer Flores, playing third base, made a poor throw on a grounder that Brandon Belt couldn't handle and the Marlins had a pulse. Jesus Aguilar hit a two-run homer to make it 5-3 but McGee struck out Garrett Cooper to end it.
