The San Francisco Giants got their third win (3-6) with a 1-0 victory against the San Diego Padres. Dan Ortmeier drove in the lone run.
Noteworthy from this game is the performance of Jonathan Sanchez. The last two years he has only thrown 92 innings but has struck out 95 batters in that span. So his 10 K's in 6 innings of work is not that hard to believe, but considering he has a 6.00 career ERA almost, it's impressive he dominated the game (albeit against a weaker Padres team). He plays in a pitcher's park so that helps, but he also has one of the most inept offenses supporting him (ask Matt Cain or Tim Lincecum). So proceed with caution if you pick him up. You are probably best looking for a stream start from him when the matchup is right, though you must keep an eye on him and any other SP that shows that kind of strikeout potential because those are the types that flourish in fantasy once / if they mature and don't have erratic outings.
We would be remiss to not mention Justin Germano who after 2 starts still has a 0.00 ERA yet no wins! Two no decisions but he has pitched efficiently, though as usual he is not striking out too many batters. That said he performed well last year (7-10 + 4.50 ERA isn't that great but he had some nice starts in the 2nd half) and has the ultimate pitcher's park so he's another starter you want to watch for home stream starts or matchups against the likes of San Francisco.
