Second Inning


The early innings saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Giants managed to break through first in the second inning with a run scored on two hits. Meanwhile, the Phillies were unable to capitalize on their chances and remained scoreless through five innings.


Sixth Inning


In an effort to turn things around, Philadelphia's bats finally came alive in the sixth inning when they managed to put one run on the board thanks to some timely hitting. This was followed by an impressive seventh inning where they added two more runs, taking advantage of San Francisco's lone error during this period.


Seventh Inning


Alec Bohm played a crucial role for Philadelphia during this stretch with his consistent performance at bat. His efforts helped boost morale and gave hope for a potential victory as he contributed significantly towards closing down what had been an early deficit.


Ninth Inning


However, it was not meant to be for Philly fans as disaster struck late into proceedings when their bullpen faltered under pressure from relentless attacks by 'the Orange and Black'. Despite having held firm throughout much of regulation playtime up until then – allowing only one additional run since that initial breakthrough back earlier - they ultimately succumbed during those final moments which saw them concede three decisive runs before time ran out completely sealing fate once again against them here tonight!


The Phillies vs Giants final score reflected how close yet far away success seemed within grasp all along until very end indeed...
