The San Francisco Giants defeated the Cleveland Guardians tonight, 4-2. They did so primarily on the back of Brandon Belt, who had two RBI and scored a run himself. Also, a little help from the Guardians’ defense, but more on that later.
Things started off rough for the Giants. Starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani ended the day after four and two thirds innings, having allowed five hits, two walks and two runs, with four strike outs. Which ended up being a lot better than it could have been. He struggled from the start of the game, falling behind in the count, missing his spots, but thankfully the Guardians were not able to capitalize on it too much.
