San Francisco Giants crush Houston Astros 10-0 – MLB Recap
The San Francisco Giants crushed the Houston Astros 10-0 in the second game of the three-match regular series encounter on Wednesday, June 13 at AT&T Park in 2012 Major League Baseball season.
Houston side played poorly and could not even score a single run which cost them bitterly as they lost with a big margin.
Starter J.A. Happ’s 3.1 innings proved disastrous as he gave eight runs and eleven hits with two homers. He was not comfortable on the mound as he literally lost the game for his team.
On the other hand, the Giants’ starter Matt Cain pitched brilliantly and remained unplayable for nine innings. He did not receive any run and remained hitless in his pitching spell. Keeping his consistent ERA of 2.18 intact throughout the game, he stood
tall against the entire offence of the Astros whom he never allowed any run to score on his pitching.
"This is incredible right now, It was unbelievable. The guys did a great job making it, in a way, kind of relaxing, because they were able to get on the board early. Those were unbelievable catches, I mean that right there, that changes the whole thing."
Cain said on his particular outing in which he gave no run in total nine innings.
Cain added with more confidence, "I know when I haven't given up a hit, I'm always conscious of it, Probably the first time through the lineup I felt like I had good stuff. The first time through the lineup I felt like something could happen."
Giants played aggressive from start of the game and kept the Astros under pressure. The Giants took a two run early lead in the first inning and strengthened it to four runs in the second. Leaving the Astros with no chance to bounce back in the game, the
Giants remained favourites who eventually rattled their opponents with big force and won in the end.
In the meanwhile, this particular win has given the Giants some significant points which certainly gave San Francisco a positive impact that will also ensure their post season qualification chances more viable.
