The San Francisco Giants had an entertaining and fun opening day win with the offense taking over and scoring 12 runs. The final score 12-6 over the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
Jake Peavy started for the Giants after a fun opening day ceremony. Peavy struggled a bit giving up four runs in five innings. Jake was competitive and did keep the Giants within striking distance. All the attention went to the offense, but the bullpen stepped up and shut down the Dodgers for four strong innings. They did a great job last year and started this season stepping it up. Hopefully this will not be a trend. The bullpen got worn down last year when starters did not last more than four or five innings. Pitching typically does not get going until a few weeks in the season, so no need to panic by any means. The offense broke it open and demonstrated why there has been a lot of talk about this offense having the ability to score in bunches.
It was a great win for the Giants. Game starting time for the second game of the series is tonight 4/8/16 at 7:15 PST. Matt Cain will be on the mound for the 2016 night opener.
Go Giants!
