Giants' Key Performances
The Giants' offense was highlighted by a pivotal sixth inning where they scored three runs, turning the tide in their favor.

On the mound, Logan Webb delivered a solid performance despite allowing three earned runs over five innings pitched. His ERA stood at 5.4 with a WHIP of 1.8 from his previous outing, demonstrating his ability to manage high-pressure situations effectively.
Yankees' Efforts
The Yankees started strong with two early runs in the second inning but struggled to maintain momentum against San Francisco's pitching staff. Their lineup managed six hits throughout the game but could not capitalize further due to effective pitching by SF's bullpen which maintained an impressive OBA (opponent batting average) of .077 during this matchup.
