The San Francisco Giants had the day off on Thursday for the first time in a while, but there were more than enough games going on in the farm system. Every single Giants’ affiliate was in action on Thursday, and two affiliates played doubleheaders. However, it wasn’t all successful for the youngsters.
In 10 games, the eight Giants’ farm teams combined to go 3-7 on the day. AAA Sacramento and AA Richmond both came back from their All-Star breaks with losses, and high-A San Jose lost as well. Single-A Augusta and short-season A Salem-Keizer were successful in their endeavors, but the Dominican Summer team dropped both ends of a doubleheader.
