Giants' Offensive Powerhouse
The Giants set the tone early in the game by scoring four runs in the first inning, showcasing their batting strength. LaMonte Wade and Mike Yastrzemski were instrumental in this early surge.

San Francisco's seventh inning proved pivotal as they added another four runs to their tally, effectively sealing their victory. Matt Chapman also made significant contributions with his consistent hitting performance throughout the game.
Phillies' Efforts Fall Short
Despite a valiant effort from Philadelphia, which included two runs each in both the first and fourth innings, they struggled to keep up with San Francisco's relentless offense. The Phillies managed seven hits but were unable to capitalize on key opportunities due to strong pitching from San Francisco's bullpen.
Lou Trivino stood out for SF on defense with an ERA of 0.0 and WHIP of just 0.5 across his appearances, further stifling any potential comeback attempts by PHI.
