The San Francisco Giants won their fifth game in a row with improved hitting (13) and solid pitching. Sure, Cardinals seven-time Allstar, Paul Goldschmidt, clobbered two home runs. But in the end Giants pitcher Camilo Doval got Goldschmidt (4 hits/2 rbi) to hit into a double-play with bases loaded, to end the game.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors proved their championship mettle by going into the cow-belling chaos of Sacramento's Golden 1 Center and snatching away homecourt advantage with a 123-116 Game 5 victory. The Warriors can close out the series with a Game 6 win, Friday. Championship Basketball is still alive and well in the Bay.
Sadly, Oakland A's baseball is tanking early. With only five wins so far this season, fewest in the league, yesterday's 11-3 loss to the Angels makes their Las Vegas move that much more inevitable. A's fans simply want to 'wish the abysmal team performances' into the dry, dead, desert, letting fly-carrying vultures pick at the bones of what once was a beefy baseball club.
