The Giants were very much in danger of this trip turning into an utter disaster. While 1-4 is no one's idea of a good road trip through Detroit and Miami, the SF Giants were very close to being 0-5 after today looked like potentially another loss for the Giants, who improved to a still-miserable 6-11 with the win.
Alex Cobb grinded his way through five innings, picking up eight strikeouts and featuring some really good stuff. The bullpen, much maligned so far this season, held the line after Cobb had allowed a single run. The Giants' offense, however, found itself in a familiar funk. They managed to score early (albeit only one run), but the did not manage to score often. The script flipped in the second extra frame.
After going scoreless in the top of the 10th, and Camilo Doval holding down the Marlins in the bottom half, the Giants exploded for four runs in the top of the 11th thanks to two left-on-left homers by Michael Conforto and Mike Yastrzemski. The SF Giants need Conforto, Mitch Haniger, Joc Pederson, and Austin Slater back on the roster as soon as possible, as their absences have a ripple effect on the rest of the roster that means fewer favorable matchups than desiered, and recently it has showed. But just for today, the San Francisco Giants got a huge win and will return home on a happy flight across the country.
