They're toying with you
There wasn't a miraculous moment that turned Tuesday night around for the Giants. No go-ahead grand slam or error-fueled rally to erase another deficit.
No, the miraculous moment stretched out over two hours, thirty-two minutes. It involved every out recorded by Erik Miller, Taylor Rogers, Spencer Howard, Tyler Rogers, and Sean Hjelle as they shutout the most prolific offense in baseball.
If beating Zack Wheeler and the Phillies in a bullpen game sounds surprising to you now, just know it was unthinkable three weeks ago. The Giants left Philadelphia then, swept in four games and outscored 29-11.
Now, as if it were a bit, they're using former Phillies prospects to shut down the winningest team in the league. How did we get here? Honestly, I don’t know. I’m not sure the Giants do either.
Up next: Kyle Harrison (4-1, 3.90 ERA) and the Giants go for the sweep this afternoon against Christopher Sánchez (2-3, 3.15 ERA). First pitch at 12:45 p.m.
