The Giants SF fall to 0-2 in the new city of links with the loss of the eruption against the brewers – The Mercury News

San Francisco – The first iteration of City Connect uniforms of the Giants was not an instant success, but they won the fans by winning them. To say, the black, orange and purple “remix” versions unveiled this season will have to survive only on style.

The Giants certainly won no style point with their game on Tuesday in an 11-3 defeat against Milwaukee Brewers.

They made a pair of errors and allowed the Brewers to fight in a sixth round in eight points while falling at 0-2 in their new alternative sons, which they will continue to wear for each home match on Tuesday. They started 6-0 in the old Creamsicle version and went 30-16 in total.

The giants also lost for the third consecutive time behind Jordan Hicks, who was accused of six of the points (five deserved) while granting eight strokes and emitting three balls on bullets, which increased his ERA to 6.59. Five others went to Lou Trivino’s line, which served a pair of circuits, including a large home, after relieving Hicks.

“We did not play a big defense behind him,” said manager Bob Melvin about Hicks, who fell to 1-3. “I don’t think he misled the ball. Sometimes had good bike, good things that break. This round has completely moved from us. But we didn’t play a good defense either. ”

The Brewers did not hit more than 201 feet in the air until Sal Frulick flies for the second in the third round, but they placed themselves, soaked, cut and diced at six strokes and an advance from the start of 3-0. Caleb Durbin, striker n ° 9, started things by pushing a double in mind just inside the first base, and William Contreras came with the biggest blow, pulling a ball on the ground in front of Matt Chapman with runners the second and third who both scored.

“This is the kind of team they are,” said Hicks. “They don’t hit much, but they brought the ball into play and they found the holes today. … just difficult.”

Milwaukee opened the match after Melvin sent Hicks for the sixth round after having already worked five out of 90 throws. He did not record another, by his own fault. The head man, Jake Bauers, has reached a simple on the ground. The Willy Adames launch withdrew David Villar from another floor ball, giving the Milwaukee runners in the first and second. And then Patrick Bailey let a ball away from him and pulled him on the right ground trying to remove the runner.

The Giants had been the last team in the majors without a multi-error match, but this sequence ended with stray throws from Adames and Bailey.

“We were really very defensively,” said Melvin. “When you have sleeves like this, what you are not, it can tend to keep you away from you.”

Melvin made a conviction for the mound after Hicks published his fourth ball in the third round of the Channel on his 105th launch of the night, and the Giants followed 11-1 when Spencer Bivens recorded the third in the Channel. Christian Yelich delivered the blow to direct elimination with a Grand Slam to directly in the center of Trivino, and Bauers stood up with a two -point shot during his second appearance of the English Channel.

Hicks missed low with consecutive separators after obtaining two strikes on his final striker, and he said: “I have the impression that if I just executed the separator, it’s a completely different ball game. But he moved away from me and that things started to untangle a little. ”

Since he launched six laundry rounds at his first start to the season, Hicks has sold at least three points and six strokes each time he took the mound, allowing opponents to strike .318 while displaying an 8.44 MPM in his last four departures.

“The thing is good,” said Melvin. “He only finds rules where he lets him move away a little.
