So if I told you that a starter put up a line of 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, striking out 4 and walking 2, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it had been a pretty good game. If I also told you that the offense had put four runs on the board in the first three innings, you’d think it had been even better. And honestly it was, right until the very bitter end.
Merrill Kelly had the mound for us, and he retired the top of the Giants lineup in order on only 6 pitches. That was pretty great.
