Ross disappointed with Bay Area debut
Ross strikes out Belt 0:16 8/16/15: Joe Ross freezes Brandon Belt for strike three to strike out the side and finish off a perfect 1st inning SAN FRANCISCO -- It wasn't the perfect homecoming for right-hander Joe Ross, who was the losing pitcher in a 5-0 loss to the Giants on Sunday afternoon.
With his family and friends in the stands, the Bay Area native was in the zone during the first three innings, striking out six batters. But he decided he couldn't pitch the same way to the Giants and made, as he put it, adjustments in the fourth inning and was touched for three runs.
