Carlos Rodón tossed a season-high 8 shutout innings to help the Giants win their sixth of past seven.
PITTSBURGH — In the fifth and final inning of his start two weeks ago in Philadelphia, something clicked for Carlos Rodón. Ever since, he has been the same lights-out fireballer who showed up to start the season.
Behind the Rodón-led effort Friday, Giants pitchers held their opponent to two or fewer runs for the seventh time in their past nine games, boasting a 1.21 ERA over their past 82 innings. Their only losses in that span were also the only games their pitching faltered . Luis González belted the third pitch of the game from Pirates starter Zach Thompson out of the ballpark entirely, landing 389 feet away, beyond the right-field boxes and just short of the Allegheny River. Three innings later, Joc Pederson led off the fourth by turning on a 1-1 changeup to extend the Giants’ lead to 2-0.
After Friday’s win in Pittsburgh, the Giants have won six of their past seven and pulled with 4.5 games of the division lead.
