The SFGiants went with a bullpen game Tuesday night and it worked out well thanks to a bounce-back performance from Sean Hjelle and timely hitting on offense.
It actually worked ...pretty well
The Giants have not had a lot of success in bullpen games recently. If you listen closely, a collective groan can be heard from the fanbase every time a bullpen game is announced and a reliever takes the mound in the first inning. And understandably so, they aren't very exciting and oftentimes is an ominous sign that the rotation is weak.
John Brebbia again took the mound in the first inning on Tuesday, recording two strikeouts and just one hit. He gave way to Tyler Rogers, who tossed two shutout innings before giving way to Sean Hjelle, who put together four solid innings of work. Thomas Szapucki surrendered a run in his one inning of work.
