Alex Wood, Jakob Junis, Sean Manaea, Ross Stripling combine for 1.84 ERA in past 3 games, but Giants’ offense stays silent.
SAN FRANCISCO — Giants manager Gabe Kapler likes to use the phrase “read and react,” and that philosophy can help explain why the Giants’ outlook ahead of Tuesday’s 3 p.m. PT trade deadline has shifted, particularly in regards to pitching.But while the Giants aren’t likely to ship out any of their arms, Farhan Zaidi said Monday, they aren’t in a hurry to pay a premium to go out and get any, either.
Alex Wood and Jakob Junis combined to get the Giants through five scoreless innings, while seven total San Francisco pitchers held Arizona to two runs until extras, when each inning starts with a runner on second base. The Giants weren’t able to push theirs across in the 11th, again coming up hitless with runners in scoring position as Joc Pederson, Blake Sabol and Patrick Bailey went down in order.
Wood served as the bridge to the core of a bullpen that has been the best in the majors since the start of May, not allowing a hit until his 11th and final batter. Getting quality work out of Wood and Junis and the rest of the pitchers at the fringes of their staff — Manaea, Stripling, Tristan Beck — is all the more important given the recent attrition to injuries. While the Giants are more optimistic about Harrison and Winn, DeSclafani and Whisenhunt may not pitch again this season.
