It didn't work for the Giants last night as rookie Hayden Birdsong couldn't hold a 4-0 lead vs. the Nats. But Birdsong is no Blake Snell, who will be umpteenth to try and match Johnny Vander Meer and go back-to-back with no hitters. With an 0.55 ERA across his last five starts, and a no-no in his last game vs. Cincy, Snell is perhaps the Giants' ace at the moment. No one saying the same about Washington's Jake Irvin and his 6.43 ERA across his last five starts. Play Giants on Run Line
