SF Giants collect three hits in loss to Texas Rangers
SAN FRANCISCO — The standing ovation and chants that filled Oracle Park during Bruce Bochy’s tribute video marking his return to San Francisco were the only sounds to cut through an otherwise quiet first five innings. Game 1 of this Texas Rangers and Giants series was off to a quiet start.
Stripling’s back-to-back hanging breaking balls to Lowe and Garver were the blemishes on a five-inning outing in which he allowed five hits, no walks and struck out three as the featured pitcher. Stripling hasn’t been able to shed those few mistakes since his return from the injured list on June 28, but the mechanical tweaks he made during his rehab are paying off with honed command.
“You could see from that Lowe at-bat, I just don’t really have the stuff where I can afford to get behind,” he said. “I have to get ahead. That’s priority one. First-pitch strikes is something I track, I can’t afford to be throwing things over the plate behind in the count.”
