I suppose it’s too much to ask to beat Adam Ottavino twice in the same series. Over the offseason, Ottavino underwent some Ivan Drago level training. He utilized every bit of technology available to him to reinvent his slider, and he trained relentlessly in a rented-out storefront next to a Dollar Tree. The results were that he became one of the most dominant relievers in a year filled with insane dominant relievers. I’m not sure how anyone could hit him, and until this series no one has. The run the Giants scored against him on Monday was the first he had given up since May 8 when he gave up a two-run homer to Justin Upton.
Three comebacks isn’t enough, Giants lose 9-8
