Anthony DeSclafani twirled eight spectacular innings as the SFGiants beat the Astros to end their four-game losing streak.
The latest big day raised Estrada's OBP to .397 and OPS to .906. He entered the day leading all MLB second basemen in WAR.Interleague play isn't really a thing anymore with the balanced schedule, but still, DeSclafani seems to like facing the American League. He improved to 8-0 in his career against the AL and 5-0 in seven starts against AL West opponents.
DeSclafani's success this season has been mostly about his ability to throw strikes. He issued zero walks for the fourth time in six starts and now has walked just three batters in 38 innings this season. DeSclafani also gave the Giants depth, something they've needed, and he has provided regularly. The eight innings were a season-high, but also the fifth time he has thrown at least six innings. A gassed bullpen certainly appreciated the latest effort.
With several of his regulars fighting a stomach virus after the Mexico City trip, Kapler started both his young catchers. Joey Bart had a walk and a single and Sabol had his first big league double.The real catching star on the night, though, was on the other side. Yainer Diaz showed off an absolute cannon, throwing Estrada and Austin Slater -- the Giants' two best base stealers -- out at second. Both throws were 86 mph by Diaz, who ranks second in the Majors in average arm strength.
