Johnny Cueto

Johnny Cueto had his second straight brilliant outing Sunday, pitching five scoreless innings and leading the San Francisco Giants past the Miami Marlins 2-1 at Oracle Park.

Johnny Cueto looked to be in midseason form in his 2019 debut Tuesday night, allowing just one hit in five scoreless innings to lead the San Francisco Giants past the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 at Oracle Park.

Farhan Zaidi has been asked a few times if he would find a way to sneak Dodger-killer Ty Blach onto the roster whenever the rivals faced off. This is not how the Giants hoped to do it.

Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash kept getting the most from his pitching staff, moving reliever Adam Kolarek to first base in a piece of matchup strategy, and the Rays blanked the San Francisco Giants 3-0 Sunday.

The planned offseason shakeup at AT&T Park began in a big way Monday. General manager Bobby Evans was let go, kickstarting what is expected to be a significant shift in the organization’s baseball operations department.

Gorkys Hernandez did not let a gift go to waste. A few minutes after the Padres inexplicably bunted with the winning run on third and just one out, Hernandez ignited a rally that clinched a 5-3 win over the Padres at Petco Park.

The Giants activated Joe Panik and recalled Kelby Tomlinson to take Cueto and Sandoval’s places on the roster. 

Buster Posey smacked a long single off the bricks to give the Giants a 5-4 win over the Cubs in the 13th inning on Wednesday afternoon. The game-winner, the eighth walk-off of the season for the Giants, came after hours of frustration at the plate.

Johnny Cueto’s first outing in more than two months got off to a bad start and he was never able to recover as the Giants continued their slide with an 11-2 loss to the Cardinals Thursday night.

The Giants were riding high into Colorado, but they were held to just three runs in the entire series as the Rockies completed the three-game sweep with a 1-0 win on Wednesday.

Evan Longoria gave the Giants a 4-3 lead in the seventh, but the bullpen couldn’t hold on as the Marlins walked off with a 5-4 win on Wednesday night.

Alen Hanson gave the Giants an 8-7 lead in the bottom of the eighth, but DJ LeMahieu took Sam Dyson deep for a two-run homer in the ninth to push the Rockies past the Giants.

Hunter Pence hit a two-run double down the first-base line with the bases loaded and one out in the 11th inning, sending the San Francisco Giants past the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Sunday.

Buster Posey, Andrew McCutchen, Brandon Crawford and Mac Williamson all had two hits as the Giants beat the Rockies 7-4 on Wednesday night.

Andrew Suarez outpitched Mike Soroka in a rookie matchup, and San Francisco survived Atlanta’s ninth-inning rally for a 4-3 win on Sunday and the Giants’ first series sweep of the Braves in four years.

Johnny Cueto threw six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 0.35 while Evan Longoria hit his 4th homer and Brandon Belt hit his 5th as the Giants took two of three from the Angels.

SAN FRANCISCO — A couple of weeks back, when Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija were still on the disabled list, Bruce Bochy called Chris Stratton the ace of his staff. Cueto and Samardzija have returned and pitched well. Stratton is still acting like an ace, though. Stratton went 6 2/3 strong innings against the visiting Washington Nationals and Mac Williamson…

The Giants did not get no-hit on Tuesday. So there was that. But the scuffling lineup did hit a new low on the first night back in Arizona, managing just one hit in a 1-0 shutout loss to Patrick Corbin and the Diamondbacks.

Before Friday’s game, Bruce Bochy said he was okay with the start the Giants have gotten off to given all the injuries in the rotation. He could not have been okay with their performance a few hours later.

A few minutes after walking into the home clubhouse at AT&T Park, Andrew Suarez was asked if he knew if he was on the active roster. “No,” he said. “I guess I should find that out.”
