MILWAUKEE — If the Giants looked listless at the plate Thursday in their double-header against the Brewers, maybe it’s because they landed in Milwaukee at about 1:30 a.m., a little under 12 hours before first pitch.
Once meant to be a travel day from Los Angeles to Chicago turned into a bleary eyed twin bill about 90 minutes up the shores of Lake Michigan, making up their final two games with the Brewers lost to the lockout at the start of the season.
When Cubs starter Drew Smyly throws the first pitch Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, the Giants will have started three games within 24 hours of each other.
