MIAMI — Rookie Keaton Winn threw six solid innings of one-run ball and the San Francisco Giants beat the Marlins 3-1 Wednesday afternoon to win their first series in Miami since 2016.
Winn (1-3) scattered four hits and struck out four. Thairo Estrada had two hits and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh, when he raced home on a double-play grounder hit by Nick Ahmed against reliever Declan Cronin (0-2).
“Definitely nice to get that monkey off my back,” Winn said of his first victory.
It wasn’t until recently that San Francisco cookbook author Micah Siva decided to replace the usual, salty matzo ball mix with fresh herbs and spices, she writes in her new cookbook, “Nosh: Plant-Forward Recipes Celebrating Modern Jewish Cuisine” (The Collective Book Studio, $35).
These vegetarian matzo balls are seasoned with olive oil instead of chicken schmaltz and pair nicely with Siva’s turmeric vegetable broth.
