Giants Shut Out Phillies 6-0, Snap Four-Game Skid
In San Francisco, the Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Tuesday night at Oracle Park, snapping a four-game losing streak with a combined four-hitter from starter Robbie Ray and two relievers.
Ray, improving to 2-1, delivered 6 2/3 shutout innings, allowing three hits, striking out seven and walking three. Ryan Walker followed with four outs, escaping two-on jams in the seventh and eighth innings, while Keaton Winn closed out the ninth on a perfect frame. The Giants' pitching staff recorded their first shutout of the season, limiting Philadelphia to just four hits overall.
Offensively, rookie catcher Daniel Susac starred in his second major league game, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs. The 24-year-old extended his career start to 6-for-7 with a leadoff single in the fifth, surpassing Hall of Famer Willie McCovey's Giants record of 4-for-4 from 1959. Susac's streak, which began 5-for-5, ended with a flyout in the sixth, but he added a two-run triple down the right-field line in the eighth to cap San Francisco's scoring.
Matt Chapman also collected three hits, including an RBI double in the fifth that scored Susac after a fielding error by Phillies shortstop Trea Turner...
