SF 3 LA 1
What's the collective noun for pitchers? A platoon of pitchers? A plethora? A plenitude? Whatever it is, the Giants used a whole passel o'pitchers tonight in Los Angeles and shut down that vaunted lineup and eked out a win. There were seven in that heap o'hurlers: Drew Smyly (3-1/3 IP, 1 R), Shaun Anderson (1 IP, 2 K), Wandy Peralta (1 IP, 1 K), Rico Garcia (2/3 IP, 1 K), Sam Coonrod (1 IP, 1 K), Tyler Rogers (1 IP), and Trevor Gott (1 IP, 1 K). Rogers loaded the bases in the 8th but wriggled out of it, and Gott put two on in the 9th but survived to notch the save.
Pitchers prevail
