WAS 5 SF 3
Tonight was a better effort than last night, and the Giants did get burned a bit from bad luck on some hard hit balls, not to mention a goofy strike zone, but they came up short. Rookie Conner Menez gave up five runs on six hits including two homers, but also went a full six innings. The 24-year old southpaw threw 99 pitches to get those 18 outs in his second big-league start. The Giants not only faced old World Series foe Anibal Sanchez, but former teammate Hunter Strickland. Both Jandel Gustave and Willams Jerez pitched in relief and delivered three scoreless.
