SAN FRANCISCO–The San Francisco Giants had visions of getting back into the National League Wild Card race after an inspiring 4-2 road trip, but they came back to earth at the end of their home series against the Washington Nationals on Sunday in a 8-0 shutout loss.

The Giants currently sit four games out of the third and final Wild Card spot. In terms of the math, it looks doable. But in the eye test, the Giants look like they are a trek across the Sahara Desert away from reaching the postseason.

The Giants fell back to .500, 59-59. It was more of the same–wasted opportunities after getting the leadoff hitter on, a plethora of strikeouts, and a sub-.500 team with younger and more-exciting talent running circles around a seemingly-sluggish Giants team.

The top of the first inning started off great for the Giants. Verlander struck out the side, and in doing so, notched his 3500th career strikeout. A great feat for a great pitcher. But then, the trouble started.

“The rest was awful,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “I mean we have 40,000 people here, and we don’t give them anything to root for the entire game other than that. So, unfortunately, that probably is as disappointing a game as he had all year.”

Unfortunately for the Giants, the game was lost in the second inning. With runners at second and third and nobody out, Verlander struck out Nationals first baseman Brady House and got center fielder Jacob Young to ground out to second with the infield in.

But then, Verlander hung a 3-2 slider to James Wood, which he lined down the first base line for a 2-run double. Verlander had made Wood look silly on a couple of fastballs up in the zone earlier in the at-bat.

Then, CJ Abrams launched a two-run homer off the right-field foul pole on a similar hanging, 2-strike slider. The Nationals were up 4-0, but it may as well been 20-0.

The Nationals would add on lone runs in the fourth and sixth inning, followed by two unearned runs in the seventh.

Abrams would end the day 2-for-5 with a home run and a single. Former Giant Paul DeJong continued to torture the Giants with a 3-for-5 day.

The Giants had no answer for Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore, who pitched six shutout innings, striking out 10 Giants. 40,089 Giants fans at Oracle Park had very little to cheer about on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the city.

“I’m frustrated that our fans come out and support us every night, and we gave them literally nothing today,” Melvin said.

The Giants could only scatter three hits for the game.

The highlight of the game for the Giants? A scoreless ninth inning from Christian Koss, a position player who came in to save the bullpen.

The Giants will try to get right against the San Diego Padres on Monday night at Oracle Park. Ace Logan Webb will try to get the Giants back into the win column.

Time is running out for the 2025 season, and if the Giants don’t want to be a team on the outside looking in for the eighth time in the last nine years, they’ll have to find that jetliner in an oasis to get them across the Sahara.

Or will that jetliner be another mirage?

Starting pitchers for Monday night the San Diego Padres have not announced a starter and the Giants will be going with RHP Logan Webb (10-8 ERA 3.24) first pitch at 6:45pm PT.

Devers Homers Again but Giants Fall to Nationals After Whisenhunt’s Rough Start

DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants and Nationals played game two of their three-game series on Saturday afternoon at Oracle Park. The Giants fell behind early and weren’t able to mount a comeback, falling to the Nationals 4-2 in the matinee affair.

Carson Whisenhunt wasn’t sharp from the get-go on Saturday, giving up a leadoff homer to James Wood in the top of the first inning. Whisenhunt would only go four innings, surrendering three runs — all on home runs — and giving up five hits while walking three.

“I didn’t have my best stuff,” Whisenhunt said after the game. “The home runs, I left pretty much through the middle of the plate. Just got to be a little better.”

Bob Melvin shared Whisenhunt’s sentiments after the game, chalking it up to a few missed pitches and a lack of command.

“Well, they [Nationals] were on his fastball,” Melvin said postgame. “They hit some fastballs for homers, so I think his stuff was as good as we’ve seen it today. But just kind of middle-middle… three fastballs and they hit three homers off [those pitches].”

On the other hand, the bullpen came in and pitched well, all things considered. Carson Seymour came in to relieve Whisenhunt and threw three innings of one-run ball, giving up four hits in his relief. Matt Gage, who served as the opener on Friday, came in to finish the game, throwing two scoreless innings while allowing two hits in his appearance.

In the end, the Giants’ offense wasn’t able to get enough done to mount the comeback they needed. However, just as he did on Friday, Rafael Devers got the Giants on the board with a solo home run in the sixth inning.

After the game, Bob Melvin spoke to Devers’ ability to get deep into counts and lay off tough pitches en route to some of the solid at-bats he’s been having.

“… He’s just a really good hitter who knows what his strengths are, and the fact that he does hit the ball the other way allows him to lay off some pitches when he’s feeling good.”

The Giants’ only other run came in the eighth inning when pinch hitter Wilmer Flores hit a sacrifice fly to center field to give the Giants their second run of the game. That was all she wrote for the Giants as they fell by the final of 4-2 while amassing eight hits total.

The Giants fell to 59-58 with the loss as the Nationals improved to 45-70.

On Sunday, the Giants and Nationals will play the rubber match at 1:05 p.m. PST at Oracle Park. Justin Verlander (1-8, 4.29 ERA) is set to go for the Giants as the Nationals counter with MacKenzie Gore (4-12, 4.29 ERA).

Teng Deals, Devers Shines on Both Sides, and Gilbert Debuts in Giants’ 5-0 Home Skid-Buster

By Jeremiah Salmonson

DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO — Having lost their last eight home games and in desperate need of a home skid-snapping win, the Giants took care of the Nationals 5-0 at Oracle Park on Friday night.

Rafael Devers and Casey Schmitt headlined the offense on Friday night, but it was opener Matt Gage and longman Kai-Wei Teng who put the Giants on solid footing in the victory.

Bob Melvin and the Giants elected to go with Gage as the opener on Friday, and it worked perfectly. Gage worked a clean first inning while striking out one Nationals hitter.

Then came the longman out of the pen, Kai-Wei Teng. Teng, who made the majority of his 25 appearances out of the bullpen for Triple-A Sacramento this year, tossed five innings of scoreless baseball on Friday. Teng scattered three hits and a walk across his five innings while striking out four in his outing.

“It looked like he was on it right away for having to sit there and wait for the second inning,” Melvin said after the game. “A little different for him. He pitched some relief a little bit here, but you get a little anxious as a starter and you have to sit down there for an inning, and he looked like he was throwing strikes right away with his breaking ball and used his fastball better today. So it was really good.”

After Teng, the Giants got scoreless innings from Joey Lucchesi and José Buttó before Tristan Beck came in to close the game in the ninth inning. Beck got three fly balls to right field to end the game with a clean top of the ninth.

The Giants’ defense was on full display as well. Logan Gilbert and Rafael Devers stood out, both making spectacular plays in the field behind the Giants’ pitching staff.

Gilbert, who was also making his MLB debut on Friday, made a fantastic diving catch to end the third inning that took him to the edge of the grass and onto the warning track near the right-field line.

“… You get an open angle from right field, right-handed hitter, and I can kind of see that he was getting beaten a little bit,” Gilbert said after the win. “So I was able to get a better jump based off that, but I almost lost my footing in the dirt once I went over the line. So thankfully I was able to hold onto the ball.”

Devers added more sparkling defense as he turned a 3-6 double play and got a crucial out at home on a 3-2 putout as he was sliding to his right with the infield in.

After the game, Bob Melvin told me that Devers has been putting in a lot of work at first base and has been looking good.

“You watch him work, especially these night games — he’s working, and then he’s taking his batting practice, and he’s going back out there again. So whether it’s picks in the dirt, whether it’s turns to second, you try to create as many plays as he hasn’t seen, and he’s working through all of ’em, and you just see him more and more comfortable every day. If you can play third base in the big leagues, which he has, you’re going to be able to play first pretty well, but it’s just all the different plays, cutoffs, and relays — stuff like that — that he hasn’t been through before. But he’s looking pretty good over there right now.”

On the offensive end, the Giants put pressure on the Nationals’ staff all game long. The Giants totaled 10 hits and four runs on the night. Rafael Devers got the Giants going with a solo home run in the first inning that sailed over the right-center field wall. The shot traveled 427 feet and was a no-doubter off the bat of the Giants’ early deadline acquisition. Matt Chapman kept the party going in the first inning adding an RBI single that scored Willy Adames from second base. Casey Schmitt added two runs for the Giants in the sixth inning with a two-run moonshot to left field that went 374 feet but with a 40-degree launch angle. Patrick Bailey capped the scoring with an RBI infield single that scored Jung Hoo Lee from second after the Nationals failed to cover home when catcher Drew Millas pounced on the ball in front of the plate.

It was a classic Giants win where they got good pitching and timely hitting to seal the deal.

The Giants improved to 59-57 on the season and are now four games back of the New York Mets for the third wild card spot and eight games back of the L.A. Dodgers in the NL West.

Carson Whisenhunt (1-0, 4.35 ERA) will go for the Giants as the Nationals send Brad Lord (2-6, 3.42 ERA) to the hill on Saturday at 1:05 p.m. PST at Oracle Park.

Drew Gilbert makes his MLB debut

Acquired in the Tyler Rogers trade to the New York Mets, outfield utility man Drew Gilbert made his first appearance in the orange and black on Friday, getting the starting nod in right field. Gilbert didn’t disappoint defensively, recording five outs and making one spectacular diving catch.

After the game, Gilbert told me it was a dream come true and appreciated the fan support after his diving catch.

“… I don’t want to say it’s good to get it out of the way, but definitely awesome to get a win, that’s for sure… very cool experience.”

Gilbert went on to talk about the reception from fans in his later at-bats: “That was a super cool, super cool moment. Obviously, the at-bat doesn’t end how you want, but either way I’ll have that memory for the rest of my life. So I really appreciate the fans for that. And they brought it tonight, and they were behind us.”

At the plate, Gilbert went 0-for-4 but isn’t letting that faze him.

“… You’re going to be a little amped up in your debut, right? So I don’t want to say you throw results out the window, but you take everything with a little grain of salt just because it is an experience that you haven’t really felt, probably playing in front of 30-plus thousand people.”

Late Rally Equals San Francisco Win Over Pirates 4-2 at PNC

The San Francisco Giants came away with a win in game three against the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series. The final score was 4-2. The Giants had trailed for most of the game but came alive in the eighth inning to put this game away. The only downside in this game was when Jerar Encarnacion pulled up at first base after being called out in the seventh inning with an apparent hamstring issue.

Game recap: The Pirates wasted no time getting up on the scoreboard taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Nick Gonzales hit a single driving base runner Liover Peguero home for the early lead.

It was a very sleepy start for San Francisco with only one hit through the first four innings. The Giants slugger Jerar Encarnacion came to the plate in the fifth inning knocking a bomb out of the yard (442 feet) to tie up this game 1-1.

The Pirates answered in the bottom of the fifth inning taking back the lead 2-1. Tommy Pham sacrificed allowing Isiah Kiner-Falefa to cross home plate. Kiner-Falefa had reached third base off a Robbie Ray wild pitch. He had stolen second base before taking third base and the eventual run.

The Pirates starting pitcher Andrew Heaney was relieved in the fifth inning. He went 4 2/3 innings allowing 2 hits, 1 run with one strikeout. Dauri Moreta took the mound going into the sixth inning.

After a scoreless sixth and seventh for both teams the game went into the top of the eighth inning. Neither team was having a lot of success at the plate, the Giants with only 2 hits and the Pirates with 6.

San Francisco starting pitcher Ray went six innings allowing 6 hits, 2 earned runs 2 walks with 8 strikeouts. Jose Butto pitched a perfect seventh inning. Ryan Walker took over in the eighth inning with the game tied. He gave up back-to-back hits with two outs in the inning. The San Francisco bullpen immediately got busy.

San Francisco pinch hitter Patrick Bailey got the Giants third hit of the game in the top of the eighth inning, a single, and with two innings left in the game San Francisco was looking to at least tie up the game.

Rafael Devers had his second walk of the game and the Giants had two runners on base with one out. Willie Adames blooped the ball into middle right field and San Francisco had a golden opportunity with the bases loaded.

They had a great chance to not only tie up the game but to take the lead for the first time Wednesday. This was their chance right here right now with Matt Chapman at the plate looking for his first hit. Chapman came so close to leaving the yard but sacrificed and Bailey scored to tie up the game 2-2. Another oh so close hit from Casey Schmitt was caught deep in right field and that was the inning with the Giants all tied up in this one. Two swings in a row coming so very close to home runs but with the one run San Francisco was back in this ball game.

San Francisco pitcher Ryan Walker got out of a sticky two on two out situation in the bottom of the eighth inning striking out Oneil Cruz for the third out and it was on to the ninth inning this game knotted at two.

The ever consistent Jung Hoo Lee hit a double to start off the ninth inning with only one out. Dom Smith came to the plate hitting for Christian Koss and knocked another double driving Lee home taking their first lead of the day 3-2.

San Francisco was not finished. Patrick Bailey singled Smith home and it was a 4-2 Giants lead. San Francisco was three outs away from winning this game after trailing for most of it. The Giants finished off the series with a 4-2 win in game three.

Game notes: Tuesday the Giants beat up on the Pirates by the score of 8-1 to tie up the 3-game series at 1-1 and Wednesday came into the game and took the series before heading San Francisco to Oracle Park for a series with the Washington Nationals starting Friday.

Wednesday Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray pitched six inning allowing six hits, two earned runs, two walks, and eight strike outs. Pirates starting pitcher Andrew Heaney pitched 4.2 innings allowing two hits, one earned run, and struck one batter.

The San Francisco Giants will open up a three game series in San Francisco to take on the Washington Nationals. Giant starter Kai-Wei Teng is probable on the mound for San Francisco with a 0-0, 13.50 ERA. The Nationals will start Jake Irvin with a 8-6 win/loss record and a 4.89 ERA. First pitch for game one is scheduled for 7:15 PM this Friday night.

After losing a heart-breaker Monday to the Pittsburg Pirates (49-65) in a walk-off 5-4 the San Francisco (57-57) rallied the troops and dominated the Pirates in game two winning 8-1 on Tuesday at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Every Giant in the line up had a hit in the game and the Giants also had three home runs.

Both Heliot Ramos and Willie Adames had terrific games. Wednesday the Giants will be looking to finish the series with a win in game three.

Game recap: After the disappointing loss on Monday, the Giants needed to get more production at the plate and tie up this series. In Game One they had seven hits, the Pirates with six.

Neither team scored in the first or second inning. The Giants Christian Koss got the game going in the right direction for San Francisco hitting a two run home run in the third inning.

The Pirates cut the Giants lead in half in the third when Bryan Reynolds singled Isiah Kiner-Falefa home still trailing 2-1. Pittsburgh had the bases loaded with two outs but failed to put any more runs up on the board.

The Giants were just getting this game going in a three-inning rally scoring six runs. Jerar Encarnacion scored in the fourth inning with a home run to center to extend their lead to 3-1. This was his first home run of the season.

Rafael Devers singled in the fifth inning and Heliot Ramos who was having a great game scored for a 4-1 San Francisco lead. Ramos had been on base three times so far in the game. The Giants tacked on two more runs in the fifth when Willie Adames homered with Rafael Devers on base taking a 6-1 lead.

San Francisco had scored in three straight innings so why not make it four straight innings. Patrick Bailey got in on the action hitting a single in the sixth inning driving both Dominic Smith and Jung Hoo Lee home for a dominating lead 8-1. Through six innings the Giants had ten hits. Every single player on the San Francisco line up card had a hit in a great offensive game.

Pittsburg pitcher Mike Burrows had a rough outing almost completing five innings but was relieved by Braxton Ashcraft in the fifth. He finished going 4 2/3 innings allowing five hits, six earned runs, three walks and three strikeouts.

San Francisco’s Logan Webb had a terrific game going six innings allowing seven hits, one earned run, no walks, and ten strikeouts. He was relieved in the seventh inning by Matt Gage.

The Giants would take the 8-1 lead into the bottom of the ninth. Tristan Beck closed out the game and San Francisco had finally won their first game against the Pirates this season and tying up the series. They finished the game with 11 hits.

Game notes: After losing a heart-breaking walk-off Monday to the Pirates 5-4 the Giants tied up the series in game two with a convincing 8-1 win. The Giants took a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning Friday when it all came apart.

The Pirates tied up the game in the ninth and then added a second run to take the first game of the three-game series. Tuesday Giants starter Logan Webb pitched six innings, seven hits, one earned run, and struck out ten hitters.

The Pirates starter Mike Burrows pitched 4.2 innings, allowing five hits, six earned runs, three walks and struck out three. The game got underway under cloudy skies with no rain expected and a temperature around 80 degrees at first pitch.

Wednesday the Giants will be looking to win the series sending their ace Robbie Ray to the mound. He has a 9-5 win/loss record and a 2.85 ERA. The Pirates will start Andrew Heaney who comes into the game with a 5-9 win/loss record and a 4.89 ERA. First pitch for game three is scheduled for 9:35 AM.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa gets walk off hit for Bucs as Giants Lose to Pirates 5-4 in the ninth

It was looking pretty good for the San Francisco Giants (56-57) going into the bottom of the ninth inning in the first game of their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates (49-64). Despite it being a one-run game, San Francisco brought in their most successful closer Randy Rodriguez.

It was a surprising inning from Rodriguez who walked the first batter followed by hitting the next batter Jack Suwinski. Joey Bart tied up the game 4-4 with a single.

With only one out, Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounded into a fielder’s choice Suwinski scored from third and that was the ball game with the Pirates coming from behind and winning 5-4. The Giants again fall under five hundred for the third time this season and the Pirates won the first game of the series after sweeping San Francisco at Oracle last week.

San Francisco scored two runs in the first inning taking a 2-0 lead. Dominic Smith singled Willie Adames home and Casey Schmitt walked with the bases loaded bringing Francisco Devers home for the second run.

It was a horrible start for Pirates pitcher Oviedo who allowed two singles and three walks. He loaded the bases to start the inning giving up a single for the the first run and with the bases remaining loaded walked Casey Schmitt home for the second run of the inning.

The Pirates got up on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning with a single run. Spencer Horwitz scored from second base . He reached second base on a fielding error from Heliot Ramos and scored on a Nick Gonzales sacrifice. They had cut the Giants lead in half.

Neither team was able to score in the second, third or fourth innings and going into the fifth inning the Giants were hanging onto a 2-1 lead. San Francisco had a few singles in the third inning but neither team had runners in scoring position for the next three innings.

Justin Verlander finished the game going five innings only allowing three hits, one run, one walk and four strikeouts. He was relieved by Carson Seymour in the sixth inning. Seymour pitched into the seventh inning.

Jung Hoo Lee had a monster hit in the fifth inning, a triple that brought both Willie Adames and Matt Chapman home taking a 4-1 lead.

When it looked like the Giants would take the 4-1 lead into the eighth inning the Pirates Jack Suwinski hit a two run home run and it was a one-run game, the Giants leading 4-3. Giants pitcher Carson Seymour unfortunately walked the first at bat that he faced to start the bottom of the seventh giving up the two runs.

Spencer Bivens took over on the mount in the bottom of the eighth inning looking to protect the Giants one run lead after San Francisco went three and out to start the inning. Bivens gave up a single and with two outs Randy Rodriguez came in to try and get the final four outs. The Giants were able to tag Nick Gonzales out at second for the third out and the Giants were three outs away from winning the first game of the series.

The top of the ninth inning got underway with the Giants looking for at least one insurance run. Pittsburgh pitcher Dauri Moreta carved up the Giants with a fly out, a strikeout and a lineout. It would be up to Randy Rodriguez to save the game for San Francisco.

With one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Rodriguez had walked Andrew McCutchen and went on to hit Jack Suwinski putting two runners on base. After going hitless for the entire game Joey Bart got a hit to center field allowing McCutchen to score from second base tying up the game 4-4.

In a most disappointing finish to this game Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounded into a fielder’s choice and Suwinski scored for the 5-4 walk-off. It was an especially tough loss for Giants closer Randy Rodriguez who had been dominant this season.

Game notes: After taking a series off the New York Mets over the weekend, the Giants took on the Pirates ( at PNC Park. The Giants had a blowout win over the Mets yesterday winning the game 12-6. In late July, the Pirates swept the Giants at Oracle and Monday night the Pirates continued on that path taking the first game of the series at PNC.

After winning the series over a very good Mets team the Giants looked to have turned a corner going forward and are hoping to finish strong in the next two months. Monday night Justin Verlander was looking for his second win of the season but didn’t get the decision as the Giants lost it after Verlander had left.

After a rough start in this three game series the Giants will be looking to even up the series in game two. Logan Webb will take the mound in Tuesday’s game. He comes into the game with a 9-8 win/loss record and a 3.31 ERA. The Pirates plan on starting Mike Burrows who has a 1-3 win/loss record and a 3.88 ERA. First pitch for this game is scheduled 3:40 PM.
