Alex Wood led the Giants’ first shutout effort of the season with 4⅔ strong innings, while David Villar and Brandon Crawford added late home runs.
SAN FRANCISCO — Turns out there’s a simple solution to a streaky, strikeout-prone offense: sensational pitching. That is the formula, at least, that worked for the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Left-hander Scott Alexander successfully walked the tight rope put in front of him in a pivotal sixth inning, escaping a bases-loaded jam with a soft dribbler and a strikeout, to back up 4⅔ shutout innings from Wood, who struck out five and surrendered only one hit. With more solid relief work from Jakob Junis, Tyler Rogers, John Brebbia and Camilo Doval, the six Giants pitchers combined for their first shutout of the season.
