San Francisco Giants podcast with Marko Ukalovic:

#1 Marko, the San Francisco Giants are feeling the pain losing three straight shut out games and on Sunday losing in ten innings 4-3 to the San Diego Padres to close out a long homestand.

#2 The Padres David Peralta hit a tenth inning tiebreaking single as the Padres scored two in the top of the tenth and the Giants fell a run short scoring a run in the bottom of the tenth in the losing cause.

#3 The Giants Heliot Ramos became the first right handed hitter in Oracle Park history (it opened back in 2000) to hit an opposite field home run that hit the water beyond the right field brick wall as homers hit in the water are known as splash hits.

#4 The Giants have now lost four straight games three of those coming on shutouts and Sunday was the first game they got on scoreboard after getting shutout in 32 straight innings. It was the longest drought by any team in the majors since the Kansas City Royals went 33 innings without a run between Aug 15-18 2022.

#5 It’s off to Baltimore and the Orioles at Camden Yards as the Giants open a three game series there on Tuesday night at 3:35pm PT. Giants starter LHP Blake Snell (3-3, 3.52) for the Orioles RHP Albert Suarez (8-5, 3.39).
