Game #300 (2 Months Later)


For everyone following the 2018 MLB Projection Season that I have been conducting, they would know that I started rolling for this project on March 12th. I rolled my first 100 games in two weeks, but have slowed down the last 6 weeks with 200 more under the belt.

Game #300 would take place on April 22nd of the schedule between the visiting San Francisco Giants (13-7) and the Los Angeles Angels (15-7), a good ol' California Interleague series. 

The game would be all one-sided as the Giants couldn't pull off the sweep in the 3rd game (of this 3-game series), as they got shutout 9-0 by the Angels' Parker Bridwell; Bridwell would allow only 4 hits, while walking 4 with 8 strikeouts. 

Mike Trout went 2-for-4, with a HR & double, BB, 3 RBI & 3 runs, while Ian Kinsler reached base safely four times (which included a RBI double, single & two walks) while scoring three times, and Justin Upton smacked two RBI doubles that combined for 3 RBI. For Trout it was his 10th HR of the season, and only trails the Yankees' Didi Gregorius (11 HR) in the A.L. & MLB home run race.

The Angels ended their 3-game losing streak, which was proceeded by a 11-game winning streak... the longest winning streak in my season, so far. The Giants, meanwhile, are still playing pretty good baseball, winning 5 of their last 7 games. 

Shohei Ohtani Series Update: 3-for-8, BB & 2 RBI (all singles) at the plate, while pitching lousy in Game 2 of the series (L, 3 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 3 K & 1 BB).
