The Giants were held to 3 runs for the third game in a row while Alex Wood was roughed up for 5 ER in 4+ innings.
It seems like a 50-50 proposition to determine which Alex Wood will show up on a given night.Wood was knocked around for five runs and failed to record an out past the fourth inning while a pair of home runs from Joc Pederson and J.D. Davis amounted to the extent of their offense in a 5-3 loss Friday night to open their weekend series against the Washington Nationals.
Threatening for the first time in the seventh inning, the Giants loaded the bases and knocked Irvin from the game, but Casey Schmitt struck out swinging against reliever Jordan Weems. It came down to the rookie shortstop with manager Gabe Kapler already exhausting his best bench bat, Wilmer Flores, and left without any other middle infielders with Brett Wisely already out of the game and Thairo Estrada and Brandon Crawford sidelined with injuries.
Ryan Walker allowed the runner he inherited from Wood to score but otherwise kept San Francisco in the game with three scoreless frames.
