On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 The San Francisco Giants took a tough loss and snapped a four game win streak on Tuesday night to the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park in San Francisco in a 3-1 loss.

#2 Key to the win was the Guardians Tyler Freeman slugged a two run single in the top of the sixth inning and that figured in as the game winner later. It was enough to get the Guardians over the top.

#3 The Giants are having a tough time fielding on Monday night they committed three errors and on Tuesday night they committed their 100th error of the season tying their 2022 season total.

#4 The Giants have now scored one run or fewer 34 times for the season that ties them with the Oakland A’s for the most in MLB.
