The San Francisco Giants improves to 15-10 after sweeping the Cleveland Indians and the Texas Longhorns fall back in the Big 12 as we recap my favorite teams from yesterday.
MLB: Giants 4, Indians 1
San Francisco got another walk-off home run on a Sunday, and this time it was to complete their first sweep of the season. For the second time this week, walking a batter didn't work for the opponent. Cleveland passed up Brandon Crawford to bring on Brandon Hicks, who smacked a 3-run walk-off home run, his third HR of the season.
Sergio Romo picked up the victory, but the story on the mound was Ryan Vogelsong finally finding his rhythm. He pitched seven scoreless innings, giving up just two hits and recording six strikeouts. It was needed with Danny Salazar matching him with recording eight strikeouts, one walk, and one run in the same amount of innings.
With Colorado taking two of three against the LA Dodgers, the Giants enjoy a 1.5 game lead in the NL West while those two sit with te same 14-12 record. San Diego finally found some offense in Washington and improve their record to 12-14.
NCAA Baseball: Oklahoma State 8, Texas 3
It was a mixture of leaving base runners and Nathan Thornhill's tough start that demised the Longhorns in the series finale against the Cowboys. Thornhill suffered just his second loss this season, giving up seven hits and seven runs (all earned) in 3.1 innings of work.
Oklahoma State's Vince Wheeland made just his second start of the season but recorded his fifth victory. Texas still was able to come up with nine total hits, and four different players had multi-hit games, but they left 11 players on the bases.
Texas lost the final two games of the series, falling back to 4th in the Big 12 after Texas Tech swept Oklahoma and has won six straight games. Oklahoma State remains in first place.
