Every game going forward is critical for the San Francisco Giants (75-74). They have to break out of their current funk after dropping two games to the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. Going into Monday night’s series with the Arizona Diamondbacks (75-75) the Giants have to at the very least win the series.

It did not go as planned and San Francisco got walloped by Arizona 8-1. You could see the pain and disappointment etched on the faces of the players in the dugout. This not how they wanted to start this series.

Casey Schmitt hit a solo home run to get San Francisco on the board but that would be it for the Giants. They only had two hits in the entire game. With Monday night’s loss, Tuesday’s game takes on even more importance.

Game notes: Arizona took an early lead in this game 1-0. A pickoff error from Giants pitcher Kai-Wei Teng allowed Arizona’s Geraldo Perdomo to score for the one-run lead. The Giants answered back in the third inning to tie up the game at one apiece.

Casey Schmitt homered to center for the tie. With the game tied this was anybody’s game and San Francisco had a nice opportunity to take the lead going into the fourth inning. It didn’t even come close to happening.

Unfortunately the rest of the game was all Arizona. The Diamondbacks did not score agains until the sixth inning but they broke this game wide open in the sixth scoring 6 runs taking a 7-1 lead.

Ildemaro Vargas singled driving two runners, Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno home for a 3-1 lead and they never looked back. The Diamondbacks followed that up with a Jordan Lawlar double that drove Blaze Alexander home and extended their lead to 4-1.

A James McCann 2-run home run upped their score to 6-1. Arizona was hot and showed no signs of letting up. Perdomo tripled Jake McCarthy home for a 7-1 lead.

The Diamondbacks finished San Francisco off in the eighth inning. Again it was Geraldo Perdomo at the plate doing more damage doubling. Jake McCarthy scored on that double for the 8-1 lead that turned out to be the final.

It was an awful game for the Giants managing only two hits. With the 8-1 loss Monday, Tuesday’s game takes on even more importance putting pressure on the mound and at the plate. They have to get the bats working because they were positively stagnant at the plate.

The Giants started a three-game series with the Diamondbacks only to lose a critical game at Chase Field and drop back two games in the NL Wild Card race.

Game notes: Every game going forward is crucial because of this traffic jam in the National League race for the third wild card spot. The Mets and the Reds were both off Monday night. Right now the Reds are tied with the Giants for second place in the NL Wild Card.

The Giants lost Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks. They are coming off a horrendous loss to the Dodgers 10-2 Sunday. They have to start stringing hits together if they want to have any chance to string wins together.

They do have the time, although limited, to do just that but losing now is not an option. They have to get the bats working and of course there have been some rough starts on the mound for the team. For Giants starter Kei Wei Teng pitched four innings, two hits, didn’t allow a run, one walk and five strike outs. but relievers Joey Lucchesi and Keaton Winn gave up runs in the ninth inning as the Diamondbacks piled it on.

First pitch in Tuesday’s game two is scheduled for 6:40 PM. Right now the Giants are undecided as to who will take the mound. The Diamondbacks will start Eduardo Rodriguez. He has a 8-8 win/loss record and a 4.98 ERA.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders (1-1) co owner and former New England Patriots great Tom Brady was in the coaching booth for the Raiders as hard as Brady strategized the Raiders took a tough loss on their home field to the Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) at Allegiant Stadium 20-9 in week 3 of the NFL season.

#2 Rich you talked to Brady before the game as a co-owner and a former player you just never get away from that player mentality he certainly wants to be involved in the game.

#3 The Chargers in the first quarter score ten points and got a touchdown from Kennan Allen who caught a ten yard pass from quarterback Justin Herbert with 20 seconds left in the quarter making 10-3.

#4 Second quarter Chargers added another touchdown when Quentin Johnston caught a 60 yard pass from Hebert and the Chargers after the first half had a 17-6 lead.

#5 Second half in the third quarter the Chargers got a field goal from Cameron Dicker a 20 yarder and the Raiders would get a field goal a 37 yarder by Daniel Carlson in the fourth quarter so both defenses pretty much shut it down but the Raiders couldn’t pass the Chargers getting their first loss of the seaon.

#6 This Sunday Sep 21 the Raiders face the Washington Commanders who are 1-1 and lost their last game Thu Sep 11 to the Green Bay Packers 27-18. The Commanders crushed the New York Giants in week 1 in Washington 21-6. How do you see these two teams matching up this Sunday in Washington?

Aces Blowout Storm In Playoff Opener 102-77

By Rich Perez

LAS VEGAS–The Las Vegas Aces (30-14) are on a roll. They finished the season winning 16 games in a row and brought that same energy into their first playoff game beating the Seattle Storm (23-21) 102-77.

The Aces were in charge of this game from start to finish. Seattle was helpless to slow them down trailing for the entire game. A’Ja Wilson had the game high with 29 points and seven rebounds. Jackie Young had 18 points and six rebounds.

The Storm will be more than thrilled to get back home to their fans and try to put this game behind them. Game Two promises to be a whole lot more of a challenge for Las Vegas but all bets are on the Aces to close out this round one series.

The Aces finished off the 2025 season winning 16 games in a row and they have procured the second seed in the WNBA playoffs. After a less than stellar start this season the Aces fought hard against the adversity they were facing.

They believed in their coach Becky Hammon, they believed in each other and they believed in themselves. Sunday night they took on the Storm in the first round of the WNBA playoffs at Michelob ULTRA Arena.

The only Ace out with injury is Kierstan Bell and earlier she was a game time decision but as the Aces got closer to tipoff it does now appear that she will be available to play.

The Aces picked up right where they left off when their season ended last Thursday night in Los Angeles beating the Sparks 103-75. The Aces went into game one of their first round matchup with the Storm. It has been a crazy ride and it is not even close to being over if these ladies have anything to say about it.

The Aces got right after it from the get-go. They quickly took the lead and mid-way through the fourth quarter had established a ten-point lead 17-7. The Aces were shooting lights out but their defense was even stronger than their offense blocking and forcing turnovers.

After the first ten minutes of play Las Vegas had taken a 22-12 lead. Seattle already had six turnovers conceding six points off those turnovers. The Aces were shooting at 60% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc.

The Storm were struggling shooting at 27% from the field and only 20% from long. Wilson was closing in on double digits with eight points going into the second quarter. Las Vegas led 22-12 to end the opening quarter.

The Storm settled down a bit in the second ten minutes of play cutting the Aces lead in half, trailing 22-17. The Aces pushed their lead back out to 29-17 with six minutes left in the half.. As the clock ran out on the first half, Young hit a three giving Las Vegas a 45-25 lead. The Aces had outscored Seattle 23-13 in the second quarter and would be looking to keep their foot on the pedal in the third quarter.

Wilson was the only player on the floor in double digits at halftime with 16 points. The Storm have the difficult task of trying to contain Wilson. In the first half Seattle couldn’t come up with any answers as to how to put the stops on Wilson.

The Storm had their work cut out for them in the second half. In the first half the Aces had completely dictated play and it would be up to the Storm to try and disrupt the Las Vegas flow.

Las Vegas continued to extend their lead and when the third quarter had come to an end they had taken a 76-52 lead outscoring the Storm 31-27 in the quarter. Wilson had the high score in the game through three quarters with 25 points, Young had 18 points, eight rebounds and off the bench Jewell Loyd had ten points.

Through three quarters, the Aces had hit 10 shots from beyond the arc. Las Vegas was one quarter away from winning their first playoff game in this best of three.

With 8:03 left in the game the Aces were flirting with a 30 point lead 83-54. The frustrated Storm were unable to slow down the diesel fueled onslaught from Las Vegas. The Aces had certainly given the sold-out crowd a whole lot to cheer about for the entire game.

At the four minute mark Wilson exited the court for the evening finishing with 29 points and 7 rebounds. She had been absolutely perfect. The Aces finished off the Storm 102-77. Las Vegas came away with 14 shots from beyond the arc shooting at nearly 50%. They had also shot at 50.7 from the field.

This game was a perfect blend of passing perfection, offensive excellence, exceptional defensive blocking and forcing turnovers, pretty decent ball protection and dictating the flow of the game from start to finish. Oh and by the way, winning their 17th game in a row.

The Aces will now travel to Seattle meeting the Storm for the second game in this series. Las Vegas will be looking for a win in game two and taking the series giving them a little more down time to rest and recuperate. Tipoff for game two is scheduled for Tuesday evening with tipoff at 6:30 PM.

Sacramento Bats Blast Reds 7-4 in Series Closer

Sacramento Bats Blast Reds in Series Closer

By Mauricio Segura

WEST SACRAMENTO–For three innings on Sunday afternoon, it looked like the Sacramento Athletics were about to limp into another quiet loss. The Cincinnati Reds came out swinging, tagging rookie starter Luis Morales for an early barrage and silencing the home crowd with a pair of long balls.

But if the 2025 Athletics have proven anything, it’s that they can take a punch, reset, and then slug their way right back into a fight. By the time the dust settled, the Green and Gold had out-homered Cincinnati, flexed the depth of their power, and stormed to a 7-4 win that completed a series sweep and gave fans another taste of why this late-season stretch has been worth watching.

Cincinnati wasted no time getting on the board. Noelvi Marte ripped a solo homer in the first, his 13th of the season, and two innings later, Will Benson’s two-run shot off Morales had the Reds sitting pretty with a 3-0 lead. Morales, making just his seventh career start, looked rattled early. His command wavered, and although he settled down to induce some ground ball outs, the Reds appeared in control, capitalizing on every mistake he left over the plate.

In the bottom of the fourth, Jacob Wilson, who continues to flirt with a batting title in his rookie campaign, stepped up and launched a solo homer into the left-field seats, sparking life in the dugout. Moments later, Colby Thomas followed suit with his sixth homer, this one a laser to left-center that brought Sacramento within a run. Suddenly, Lodolo’s early strut turned into a careful grind.

The fifth inning delivered the decisive moment. After Wilson was hit by a pitch, Nick Kurtz stepped in, and as he’s done so many times this year, turned the game on its head with one violent swing. His two-run shot, a towering drive to left, gave Sacramento its first lead of the day at 4-3. For Kurtz, it was his 32nd of the season, putting him further ahead of the rookie leaderboard and reaffirming what scouts have been saying since spring: this is a cornerstone bat in the making.

With momentum firmly in their favor, the A’s added insurance in the sixth when Thomas singled and Brett Harris laced a double down the line to make it 5-3. Brent Rooker then joined the power parade in the seventh, belting his 29th of the year to dead center. By then, Cincinnati’s bullpen looked shell-shocked, and Sacramento’s confidence was on full display. Thomas capped his afternoon with another hit in the seventh, part of a three-hit day that showcased his knack for producing in the middle of rallies.

The Reds tried to claw back in the eighth, with Sal Stewart cutting the deficit to 7-4 on a solo homer, but the A’s bullpen had enough answers. Brady Basso, Tyler Ferguson, Sean Newcomb, and Justin Sterner combined to bridge the gap before Michael Kelly closed things out in the ninth.

Morales, despite his shaky start, was backed up perfectly by a relief corps that has quietly transformed itself since the All-Star break. Once one of the shakiest units in baseball, Sacramento’s bullpen has carried a 3.01 ERA since late June, among the best in the majors.

The win carried significance beyond the box score. By sweeping Cincinnati, the Athletics improved to 69-80 on the season, officially eliminating them from AL West contention but keeping a flicker of Wild Card math alive, at least for another day.

More importantly, the team continued to prove it can hang with opponents by out-homering them, a formula that has worked like clockwork. Sacramento is now 44-9 when it clears the fences more often than its opponent, a staggering .830 winning percentage that underscores just how central power has become to its identity.

That reliance on the long ball might not always be sustainable, but this September surge is giving fans glimpses of the future. Kurtz, Wilson, and Thomas are all rookies. Together, they combined for four hits, three runs, and three home runs in Sunday’s victory.

It’s the kind of production that hints at a foundation being built, not just a streak of hot bats. Wilson, hitting .318, continues to press Aaron Judge for the AL batting crown, something an Athletic hasn’t won since Ferris Fain in 1952. Kurtz, meanwhile, already has more home runs than any A’s rookie since Yoenis Céspedes, and Thomas is quickly proving he can be more than just a depth piece.

Rooker, the veteran presence among the mashers, keeps doing his part too. His seventh-inning homer not only gave Sacramento breathing room, it also put him among the league leaders in doubles and extra-base hits. If the rookies are the promise of tomorrow, Rooker is the reminder that established power can still set the tone today.

It wasn’t a perfect afternoon. Morales lasted just 4.2 innings and was tagged for three early runs, raising questions about how many more innings his arm can handle this year. But even that storyline had a silver lining. Morales is just weeks removed from pitching in Double-A, and for all the lumps he’s taken, the A’s are 4-2 in his starts. That kind of trial by fire is how young rotations are forged.

By the time Kelly induced TJ Friedl’s final out in the ninth, the 8,778 fans in attendance were on their feet, savoring a series sweep that carried the weight of both momentum and meaning. It’s been a long, uneven season for Sacramento, one defined by brutal losing streaks and flashes of promise. Sunday’s win leaned hard into the latter, a young team showing fight, flashing power, and sending a message that the future might not be as far away as it sometimes feels.

As the A’s now pack their bags for Boston, they do so with a swagger that only comes from beating a team at its own game. Cincinnati brought the early thunder, but Sacramento answered with a storm of its own. And if this weekend was any indication, the Athletics’ blueprint is clear: keep swinging, keep slugging, and let the long ball carry them wherever it can.

Sacramento heads to Boston to open up a three game series against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Starting pitcher for the A’s LHP Jefferey Springs (10-11 ERA 4.28) the Sox have not announced a starter for Tuesday night’s game first pitch 3:45pm PT.

Ray just doesn’t have it, as Dodgers smoke Giants 10-2 to take series

Oracle Park

San Francisco, California

Los Angeles Dodgers 10 (84-65)

San Francisco Giants 2 (75-74)

Win: Tyler Glasnow (3-3)

Loss: Robbie Ray (11-7)

Time: 3:09

Attendance: 40,112

By Stephen Ruderman

SAN FRANCISCO–The Los Angeles Dodgers got to Robbie Ray, and smoked the San Francisco Giants 10-2 to take this pivotal series at Oracle Park

This series began in epic fashion when Patrick Bailey sent everybody home happy with a walk-off grand salami in the bottom of the tenth inning in the series opener Friday night. The Giants then jumped out to an early 4-1 lead Saturday night, but Logan Webb was unable to hold it. The Dodgers put up a big fat six-spot to open up a 9-4 lead Saturday, and won 13-7 Sunday in what was just a wild game.

The Giants were trying to take the rubber match on a beautiful fall day for baseball at Oracle Park after their rough loss Saturday night. Robbie Ray looked to be the stopper today, and he started the day nicely with a one, two, three top of the first inning. However, he would have a rough go of things against the Dodgers’ star-studded lineup afterwards.

The Dodgers opened the scoring on a sacrifice fly by Enrique Hernandez in the top of the second. The Dodgers only scored one run in that inning, but Ray really had to work, and that would prove costly as his day went along.

The Giants responded against Dodgers’ starter Tyler Glasnow in the bottom of the second, and tied the game on a sacrifice fly by Casey Schmitt. However, the Dodgers manufactured another run to retake the lead in the top of the third.

Ray pitched a scoreless top of the fourth, but things fell apart for him in the top of the fifth. Mookie Betts walked to lead off the inning, and Teoscar Hernandez singled him over to second, Freddie Freeman then hooked a double down the right field line to make it 3-1, and Ray was done.

Bob Melvin summoned his young fireballer, Joel Peguero, but things didn’t get much better. Peguero walked Tommy Edman, and then former Giant Michael Conforto hit a pinch-hit single to right-center that scored a pair.

The Dodgers led 5-1, and they still weren’t done. Well, not with scoring at least. Peguero disengaged from the rubber three times with Miguel Rojas at the plate, and since 2023, disengaging three times from the rubber with the same batter at the plate is a balk. That meant Edman scored, and the Dodgers now led 6-1. Melvin came out to raise a stink, but to no avail.

During that fifth inning, the Dodgers fans who made the trek up north made their presence felt. The bleachers only looked less like the visitor’s section at a college football game than usual today, but the amount of blue throughout the ballpark truly set the tone.

Tyler Glasnow settled down in the middle innings to retire 11-straight batters. While the Giants did not go down quietly in the later innings, they still only scored two runs.

You could say the most embarrassing part of the game came in the bottom of the ninth, after the Dodgers had already opened their lead to 10-2. Drew Gilbert hit a one-out double, but on appeal, he was called out for missing first base. The Giants challenged the call, obviously, but it was upheld.

The Dodgers indeed won 10-2.

Unfortunately, the Mets ended their eight-game losing streak on a walk-off home run by Pete Alonso to beat the Texas Rangers 5-2. That means the Giants fall to a game and a half back of the Mets for the third wild card in the National League with 13 games to go.

Well, here we are. There are just two weeks left to go in the Regular Season, and the Giants will head to Arizona to begin their final road trip of the season. They will have three against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix starting Monday night, and then they will go over to Los Angeles for four against these very Dodgers starting Thursday night.

Kai-Wei Teng (2-4, 7.54 ERA) will take the ball for the Giants in the series opener at Chase Field Sunday night. Zac Gallen (11-14, 4.84 ERA) will counter for Arizona.

Final Thoughts:

Series losses happen, especially against good teams like the Dodgers. The Giants wasted some opportunities to gain sole possession of the third wild card in the National League, as they went 3-4 during the Mets’ eight-game losing streak.

The good news is that the Mets remain in complete freefall, and have a much harder schedule than the Giants. The Giants have their four-gamer in Los Angeles next weekend, but the Mets have to host the Padres for three this week, and then they have to go to Wrigley Field to play the Cubs next week.

The Giants have 13 games left to play, and the Mets have 12. Assuming the Mets, who hold the tiebreaker against the Giants, go 6-6 in their final 12 games, which could be a stretch for them given how they’ve been playing, the Giants would have to go 9-4. It’s very doable, but we’ll just have to watch and see what crazy stuff happens as the final two weeks of the Regular Season play out.

National League Wild Card Standings:

  1. Cubs 85-64 +8.5

*2. Padres 82-68 +5.0

  1. Mets 77-73 —

GIANTS 75-74 1.5

Diamondbacks 75-75 2.0

Reds 74-75 2.5

Cardinals 73-77 5.0
