Tampa Bay scored just 19 runs in the six games, and nine were unearned. The worst ERA for the seven Giants who pitched in the series was 3.38 (Art Nehf).
Game One: Giants 6, Rays 2: New York scored single runs in each of the first three innings, but the killer blow was a three-run homer in the sixth by Billy Southworth. Virgil Barnes went the distance, allowing just six hits, one a two-run homer by Logan Morrison.
Game Two: Giants 5, Rays 4: Bill Terry drove in three runs and Frankie Frisch drove in the other two as Nehf threw a complete game. Corey Dickerson and Adeiny Hechavarria each homered for Tampa Bay.
Game Three: Rays 5, Giants 0: Jake Odorizzi and three relievers combined for a four-hit shutout. The Giants were charged with five errors -- one by Frisch and two each by Ross Youngs and Travis Jackson -- and four of Tampa Bay's runs were unearned. In a sidelight, eight of the nine lineup slots for the visiting Giants have plaques in the Hall of Fame.
Game Four: Giants 4, Rays 3: Pinch hitter Terry doubled in the winning run in the top of the ninth inning. Jack Bentley threw the Giants' third complete game victory, allowing just one earned run and the Giants committed three more errors.
Game Five: Rays 1, Giants 0: Dickerson tripled with two outs in the fourth inning, and Jackson booted the following grounder for the only tally of the game. No Giant reached second base against Chris Archer and Alex Colome.
Game Six: Giants 7, Rays 4: New York got three consecutive doubles in the fifth inning -- Frisch, Heinie Groh and Youngs -- to take the lead and never relenquished it. The Giants went to the bullpen in the eighth inning after the first three men reached against Nehf (one on an error), and Claude Jonnard and Rosy Ryan each got three outs without allowing a hit.
Projected rotation: Barnes-Bentley-McQuillan-Nehf-(Barnes)-(Bentley)-(McQuillan). The bullpen is fully available for the second round.
