The Giants opened their scoring in the second inning with a single run and added another in the third. Their final effort to close the gap came in the seventh inning when they managed to put up one more run. Despite these efforts, it was not enough to overcome the deficit created by a strong offensive display from the Marlins in earlier innings.


San Francisco's hitters showed resilience throughout as they amassed nine hits during the game. They were led by an impressive performance that included four extra-base hits and a home run. However, their ability to capitalize on opportunities was limited as evidenced by leaving eight runners on base and only hitting once with runners in scoring position.

On defense, San Francisco committed an error but also turned a double play. The fielding percentage stood at .974 for this game which reflects both their solid defensive plays as well as areas for improvement.


Pitching for San Francisco saw mixed results; starters posted an ERA of 3.6 over five innings pitched while striking out five batters against three walks allowed. However, it was challenging for their bullpen which struggled with an ERA of 12.0 over three innings pitched allowing four earned runs.
