Giants cruise to 5-1 homestand, lose Cueto to lat injury




Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants show

Summary: On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick breaks down the San Francisco Giants' 3-0 win against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon, and recaps their 5-1 homestand and 8-4 overall start to the season. Johnny Cueto provided the Giants with yet another strong start, but he had to leave the game in the sixth inning with a lat injury. Austin Slater collected another big hit, and the bullpen, headlined by Jake McGee in the ninth, shut down the Reds offense. McGee now has an MLB-leading six saves in six chances. He has yet to allow a run. Ben also discusses some roster moves the Giants have made in recent days and will make in the coming days. Logan Webb was moved to the bullpen as Alex Wood gets ready to join the Giants' rotation on Sunday in Miami. LaMonte Wade Jr. was placed on the IL with an oblique injury, and Steven Duggar was recalled in his place. Lastly, the Giants made a minor trade earlier this week, acquiring shortstop Thairo Estrada from the New York Yankees in exchange for cash. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
