Patrick Corbin baffles Giants hitters, Giants fans all night long.

Johnny Cueto pitched an amazing game and we should not lose sight of the fact that it happened. After last year’s blister problems and this season’s brief ankle issue there’s an air of “Cueto’s fragile” whenever he takes the mound now. And right away in tonight’s game, Cueto couldn’t pitch until they fixed whatever was wrong with the pitching mound (theory: leftover shards of glass from the Gibson era). But Cueto seemed to be operating in the “prove myself” mode tonight, especially as it related to his health. He was a mobile pitcher, running all over the infield on popups.
