SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When Blake Snell takes the mound, his mind is all on pitching — even with a baby on the way who will make him a first-time father. With a no-decision for the Giants in Monday’s 8-4 win against the Phillies, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner remains winless with San Francisco since signing a $62 million, two-year contract in March. He is eager to get on a roll and is focusing on the positive strides he’s making while getting to know the staff. “I think I’m in a good place,” he said, noting that along with girlfriend Haeley Mar they are prepared. “Whatever happens I feel like we’ll be ready for. She knows how focused I am on pitching and how much it means to me.” Brett Wisely doubled in a key insurance run in the sixth inning after an earlier RBI single, and Patrick Bailey hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the fifth for San Francisco. |
