Giants were absolutely terrible against sliders this year and Lackey's was one of the best so hopefully that carries over and he pitches 8 innings, closed out by CJ with a comfortable lead.
But it was the 3rd time he'd thrown it in that PA 93 up 93 down 88 down Seems like three different pitches/locations to me. Maybe I'm wrong. Seemed like a situation where he went to the well one time too many.
