Another Giant who has been pivotal to their success is Brett Wisely. The shortstop showcased his talent by hitting a staggering .500 average in one game and maintaining a .383 batting average over the past three games. Wisely's performance at bat, coupled with flawless fielding, has been instrumental for the Giants.


On the Angels' side, attention turns to Zachary Neto, an infielder who has proven himself with a batting average of .283 across three games. Neto's standout moment came when he achieved a 1.400 slugging percentage in one game, highlighting his significant impact on the team's offensive efforts.
