First Inning


The game began with both teams feeling each other out, as neither managed to score in the opening inning. The Giants took an early lead in the first inning with a run scored off one hit. However, it was clear from the outset that this would be a battle of wits and endurance.


Third Inning

Fourth Inning

Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved decisive when Tribe capitalized on San Francisco's defensive lapse to extend their lead further with another well-earned run. Despite being out-hit by Giants' ten hits compared to six from Guardians', it was efficiency rather than volume that defined Cleveland’s approach throughout this contest.
