VIDEO: Mike Yastrzemski Goes Yard to Fuel 3-Run 3rd Inning as Giants Tie Things up With Phillies
By Mark Powell
This isn't 2015 anymore, Jake Arrieta. The former Cubs ace is struggling on Sunday night in San Francisco as Philadelphia looks to extend the gap between them and the Giants. Up 5-2 entering the inning, Arrieta gave up the Phillies' advantage, as Mike Yastrzemski went yard to get the scoring started.
Scooter Gennett and Kevin Pillar followed up Yaz's actions with RBIs of their own to even the score.
San Francisco teetered between buyers and sellers at the trade deadline, but in the end decided to go for it in Bruce Bochy's final season. Every game looms large at this juncture, especially with Philadelphia above the Giants in the Wild Card standings.
