Cruz strikes out. Bucs in command with 5-0 lead after four.

It was part of that mystery strike zone.

Giants answer with a double and single to start the 5th. 5-1 Bucs.

I’ve noticed on Game Day how bad some of these have been.

[Doc]

Jones gets two more strikeouts and a fly out around a walk. He’s having an odd game: he doesn’t have his usual control but he’s only given up one run on three hits. Would like to see him have a nice tidy 6th and maybe 7th. 5-1 Bucs midway through five.

[Doc]

Bucs down quickly in the 5th, still lead 5-1.

[Doc]

Chapman with a two run HR. 5-3 Bucs. I’d sure like to have a hitter like him in our line-up.

[Doc]

It wasn’t tidy but Jones gets through six. Probably done for the night. Bucs lead cut to 5-3. Need some insurance.

[Doc]

Bucs down in order in the 6th. The game’s in the hands of the bullpen. Stratton gets first crack.

[Doc]

Stratton does his job, getting the Giants in order. Still 5-3 Bucs midway through the 7th.

[Doc]

Bucs looking like they think the game has been won. They go down in order in the 7th. Still 5-3 Bucs. Chapman to pitch the 8th.
