How Was The Game? (September 5, 2014)

Miserable.

Giants 8, Tigers 2

So basically this was bad. Rick Porcello (27 GS, 183 IP, 3.30 ERA, 3.60 FIP, 3.1 fWAR) got off to a rocky start with a little rough defense mixed in with some hard contact and a comebacker off his ankle. He pitched only three innings (six runs on ten hits and a walk), but he would probably have gone another inning or two if not for a massive outpouring from the skies that kept the game in delay for nearly three hours. When the game came back, the Tigers and Giants both added two additional runs as they rolled through relievers and set things up for Saturday’s showdown between David Price (29 GS, 210.1 IP, 3.25 ERA, 2.87 FIP, 5.0 fWAR) and Madison Bumgarner.

The Moment: The stadium wasn’t destroyed during the storm?
