Good luck tonight Padres fans. As a Giants fan I'm hoping that Sanchez can continue with the high strikeouts without giving up the runs this time.

Gotta say

Germano's pitching a pretty good game. 2 hits, 1 walk, no runs, 57 pitches (the exact same as Sanchez), a good number of fly outs and ground outs. And that last inning was a nice efficient piece of work. If he can follow up on that by keeping his pitch count down, he won't be too bad for a #5 starter, huh?
