Giants Target Second Base Gap In Slumping Game
Yesterday afternoon the Giants faced a weak defensive hole at first base on balls hit between first and second. Sweeney was blamed at times for not covering ground though he was en route to receive the throw. Houser Sweeney or Tyler should have covered better on that play. The gap led to four singles as the Giants adjusted to exploit the opening.
