Thursday wasn’t a day to remember for Blake Snell. For the first time in quite a while, the San Francisco Giants had to win in spite of him, rather than because of him, and they did exactly that. Snell lasted just one inning due to an inflated pitch count, but Landen Roupp, Erik Miller, Tyler Rogers, Camilo Doval, and Ryan Walker combined for eight scoreless innings as the Giants walked-off the Arizona Diamondbacks.
But while it wasn’t a memorable day for Snell, it was a day in which he inadvertently ended up in the news cycle.
