Game Wrap 9/11/2017: Giants 8 Dodgers 6

Back from a nice vacay.  Will try to do a few catch up posts.

This was a game that probably should have been postponed as it was initially delayed and then delayed again after the first batter.  It finally started after 10 PM and ended at about 2:30 AM on 9/12.   The hitters seemed to adjust better than the pitchers.  Key Lines:

Hunter Pence RF- 3 for 5, 3B.  BA= .252.  The Hunter Pence leadoff experiment went well as he was a sparkplug at the top of the order.

Denard Span- CF- 2 for 3, HR(12), BB.  BA= .261.  Span sets a personal record for HR's in a season. He hit 3'rd in the lineup in this game.

Buster Posey 1B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .321.  Hundley's ability to handle the catching allows Buster to play more 1B which seems to help keep him from grinding down.

Jarrett Parker LF- 1 for 4, HR(4).  BA= .244.  Second dinger in 2 days for Parker.

Chris Stratton RHP- 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.07.  Stratton started the game and struck out the only batter he faced before the weather turned bad again.  Nice to wonder what he might have done without the second stoppage.
