Johnny Cueto was lights-out again last night against the San Diego Padres. He received no run support and still was out there getting out after out. Last night was another pitching dual. Drew Pomeranz pitched brilliantly for the Padres. Pomeranz went deep into the game and is proving to be a lights-out guy himself. The Padres could not get their offense going against Cueto.
I am so glad Cueto got the win when Hunter Pence's pop-up to shallow right field hit the ground in the Giants half of the ninth inning. Alexi Amarista and Jeff Kemp positioned to prevent a double could not get to the shallow hit. Kemp took full responsibility after the game saying he should have made the play. My words when they did not get to the ball, Oh my gosh with lots of clapping.
No offense, no problem! The Giants have been playing some really good defense. Brandon Crawford demonstrates this over and over again. To view a MLB.com video of a play Crawford makes look routine click HERE.
