The San Francisco Giants rebounded from a disappointing series against the Miami Marlins by defeating the Chicago White Sox 3-1 in their road opener. Right-hander Landen Roupp delivered a strong performance, allowing only one unearned run across 5 1/3 innings, and catcher Patrick Bailey contributed significantly with a triple and two RBIs. Manager Bob Melvin praised Roupp's ability to perform even without his best stuff. Closer Camilo Doval also bounced back, securing his 13th save after struggling in recent outings, highlighting the Giants' resilience amidst challenging stretches.
"If you don't have your best stuff and you go out there and you give up one run - unearned - you did pretty well," manager Bob Melvin told reporters in Chicago.
Roupp, 26, continues to solidify himself as the third-best starter in San Francisco's rotation behind Logan Webb and Robbie Ray. Since May, Roupp owns a 2.45 ERA over 51 1/3 innings with five quality starts.
The right-hander's last two starts have been especially impressive given how he responded to the worst start of his career.
Closer Camilo Doval enjoyed a bounce back of his own as he recorded his 13th save of the season.
