The Giants showcased an impressive offensive performance, accumulating eight hits throughout the game. Their scoring was particularly explosive in the fifth inning when they secured three runs off four hits, and again in the seventh inning with two runs from three hits. The team's batting average was .250 for this game, and they managed to drive in five runs overall.


Logan Webb's pitching for the Giants was instrumental in their victory. He earned his third win of the season against one loss, effectively shutting down Mets' hitters by maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of just 1.0 across nine innings pitched. The bullpen also contributed significantly; closer Camilo Doval recorded his fourth save of the season.

Defensively, San Francisco maintained a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 without committing any errors during play – a testament to their solid defensive capabilities which supported their pitchers well throughout nine innings.


On offense for the Mets, despite managing nine hits against Giants pitching, they only translated those opportunities into one run during the ninth inning when they put together three hits but fell short of mounting a significant challenge.
