First Inning


Both teams started cautiously, with neither side managing to score. The Giants struggled to find their rhythm early on, failing to register any hits in their first inning at-bat.


Second Inning


The second inning saw some action from both sides. The Orange and Black managed two hits but couldn't convert them into runs. Meanwhile, the Friars also recorded a hit but remained scoreless.


Third Inning


In this inning, Matt Chapman of the Giants showcased his defensive skills at third base but was unable to contribute offensively as San Francisco continued its scoring drought.


Fourth and Fifth Innings


These innings were marked by strong pitching performances from both teams. Logan Webb held his ground for the G-Men despite allowing eight hits over six innings pitched. The Padres' defense also stood firm, preventing any scoring opportunities for San Francisco.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning brought some excitement for Giants fans when Rafael Devers hit a solo home run that finally put them on the scoreboard. However, this spark was short-lived as it turned out to be their only run of the game.


Seventh Inning


San Diego took control in this pivotal inning by scoring three runs on four hits against Webb's pitching efforts—highlighting one of several game-changing plays in this matchup between these two rivals.


Eighth and Ninth Innings


Despite solid bullpen work from Tristan Beck and Ryan Walker who kept things tight without conceding further runs—the damage had already been done earlier by Slam Diego’s batsmen during those crucial middle frames which ultimately sealed victory away from home turf here tonight!
