Rookie Addison Russell, who turned a nifty double play in the third, found himself facing hard-throwing Hunter Strickland with one out and runners at second and third in the seventh. Strickland started Russell with a curve, then threw three straight fastballs at 97, 98 and 96 mph to strike him out.
"He challenged me and I tried my best to put the ball in play," Russell said.
The Giants then called on lefty Javier Lopez to face rookie Kyle Schwarber, who saw four pitches, and struck out swinging.
