The SF Giants dropped the first game of their doubleheader on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers, falling 2-1 in a pitcher's duel.The Giants went with southpaw Scott Alexander as an opener, and he did his Cameron Heyward Jersey job, retiring the Brewers in a perfect first inning before usual starter Jakob Junis entered. The Giants briefly led 1-0, when Mike Yastrzemski doubled in LaMonte Wade Jr. with two outs in the top of the third, but it was Brewers' ace Corbin Burnes' day. The reigning Cy Young Award winner, Burnes looked every bit like one of the best pitchers Benny Snell Jr. Jersey in MLB on Thursday. The St. Mary's College (CA) alum dominated Giants hitters, striking out 14 and inducing 26 swings-and-mi ses during his eight-inning outing. Burnes got a little help from home-plate umpire Manny Gonzalez's pitcher-friendly zone, but it's hard to envision a more restrictive zone transforming the outcome. He was nasty.Scroll to Continue Junis was very good, striking out Miles Killebrew Jersey four and surrendering just three hits and two walks acro s his six innings of work. The only blemish on his final line came in the bottom of the fourth when Christian Yelich and Hunter Renfroe hit back-to-back RBI doubles. Normally, that would have been enough to get a win, but going up against Burnes, Junis ended up receiving his fifth lo s of the season. Giants reliever Tyler Rogers replaced Junis in Terrell Edmunds Jersey the bottom of the eighth and had a quiet 1-2-3 inning. The Brewers turned to closer Devin Williams, who retired the Giants in order and recorded his 11th save of the season.The Giants and Brewers will take a short break before returning to the field for the second game of their doubleheader.
