The San Francisco Giants bats finally showed up in the desert as they smash three home runs on their way to a 9-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The win stops the San Francisco Giants season-high six-game losing streak and gives them their first win in the month of June. Wilmer Flores came up with the big hit with runners on base that has eluded the San Francisco Giants in recent weeks, as he launched a grand slam over the left field wall in the third inning. Jordan Hicks didn't pitch terribly, but labored in the start and lasted only 3 2/3 innings. Credit the bullpen as well for holding this one down to avoid the sweep.

The San Francisco Giants fell 8-5 to the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight at Chase Field, extending their season-high losing streak to six games. Kyle Harrison pitched well enough to keep the San Francisco Giants in this game late, but Luke Jackson imploded in the 7th inning, surrendering four runs and creating an insurmountable deficit for the struggling San Francisco Giants offense to overcome. They will try to avoid the sweep tomorrow in the final game of the three-game series.

The San Francisco Giants nearly pulled off another comeback win on the road, but the Arizona Diamondbacks had other plans as Pavin Smith blasted a walk-off two run home run to dead center field to defeat the San Francisco Giants 4-2. The San Francisco Giants had several chances to take the lead in this one, but went just 1-6 with runners in scoring position. Jorge Soler nearly legged out an infield single, which would have scored a run in the top of the ninth, but was called out on replay review after initially being ruled safe.

The San Francisco Giants could've really used a win in their series finale against the Yankees, and it looked like they were going to do so. But Camilo Doval, who isn't having his best season to date, blew a two-run ninth-inning lead. It's the third time in the last couple of weeks that the Giants have blown multiple-run ninth-inning leads, which is certainly cause for concern.
Something else that's cause for concern is losing Blake Snell to the same injury that sent him to the IL for more than a month. Snell exited Sunday's start and could miss a similar amount of time this go around.
The SF Giants' overall numbers and performance 60 games into the season are evaluated. The Giants have a disappointing 29-31 record, but they're still in the thick of things and have dealt with an uncommon number of injuries. One positive: Michael Conforto, who was one of the Giants' best hitters early this year, returns to the lineup tonight in Arizona.

Although they couldn't complete the sweep, the San Francisco Giants won another series, this time against the team that came into town with the best record in baseball. The Giants started out the season slowly, but they're playing great baseball as of late. Tuesday's 1-0 win was particularly impressive for the Giants, as they outdueled one of the best pitchers in baseball, Zack Wheeler, in a bullpen game.
Two SF Giants players who aren't playing their best baseball right now are Jorge Soler and Marco Luciano. Soler has struggled with the bat essentially all season after signing a three-year deal in the winter. Luciano was removed from Wednesday's game after making another poor play at shortstop and Brett Wisely, who continues to hit and has impressed defensively, seems to have passed Luciano on the depth chart. It was later revealed that Luciano exited the game with hamstring tightness, so the banged-up Giants may have to make another move, likely to call up infielder Casey Schmitt from Triple-A.
Dan Szymborski's updated ZiPS projections are discussed. The Giants have played about 35% of their season, and they are one game over .500. How does the projection system view the SF Giants the rest of the way, and what are the playoff odds ZiPS assigns to the Giants?

The San Francisco Giants bullpen did a phenomenal job today going toe-to-toe with Cy Young candidate Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies, as the San Francisco Giants came out with another walk-off win, 1-0, at Oracle Park. Luis Matos was the hero again as he lifted a sacrifice fly to left field that scores Tyler Fitzgerald and won the game. Reliever Spencer Howard made his San Francisco Giants debut and gave them four innings of shutout work on the mound. With the win, the Giants secure a series victory against the Philadelphia Phillies with one more game to play in this three-game series tomorrow.

LaMonte Wade Jr. has been one of the best hitters in baseball this year, period. Among hitters with at least 160 plate appearances, Wade's .470 OBP is best in the sport by a mile, and his 19.9% walk rate also ranks first. But the San Francisco Giants will be without Wade for an unknown amount of time after he came up limping legging out a double in Monday's resilient win over the Phillies.
That the SF Giants beat the Phillies is no small accomplishment. The Giants were coming off an extremely tough loss, blowing a two-run ninth-inning lead against the Mets the previous day. The SF Giants then flew all the way across the country that evening, then played a day game on account of the holiday. And oh by the way, Philadelphia swept the Giants in a four-game series earlier this year and has the best record in baseball.
In other news, Marco Luciano seems to have lost his grip on the starting shortstop role in Nick Ahmed's absence. Brett Wisely has been playing very well, and Luciano made several critical errors on the Giants' recent road trip. The SF Giants were able to overcome those errors for the most part, but it backs up what scouts have long believed: that Luciano may need to move off of the position in order to thrive in the majors.

The San Francisco Giants got a little bit of revenge at Oracle Park today as they beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-4. The bottom of the order has been producing well as of late and continued to do so today with Brett Wisely, Heliot Ramos, and Mike Yastrzemski accounting for six of the San Francisco Giants eight RBI. Blake Snell got the start for the San Francisco Giants on this beautiful Memorial Day at 3rd & King, and failed to pitch more than four innings again. The offense bailed him out today, but the Snell experience is getting old. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The San Francisco Giants got a taste of their own medicine today, falling to the New York Mets, 4-3, after a three-run ninth inning propelled the New York Mets to a walk-off win at Citi Field. Logan Webb tossed seven strong innings of one-run ball, and recorded eight strikeouts, but the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. With Camilo Doval unavailable to pitch today, Tyler Rogers was called upon to seal the win and couldn't get the job done. Still, a 4-2 road trip is nothing for the San Francisco Giants to hang their heads about.

The San Francisco Giants overcame yet another late-game deficit as they beat the New York Mets 7-2 in extra innings. Trailing 2-1 going into the 9th inning, Lamonte Wade Jr drove in the tying run with a pinch hit single. Then in extra innings, the San Francisco Giants plated five runs with Mike Yastrzemski swatting a three-run triple in the rally. Jordan Hicks struck out eight in his five innings of one-run ball. This team is full of late-inning magic lately and is rolling right now.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The San Francisco Giants pulled out yet another comeback win on this road trip, this time taking down the New York Mets 8-7 at Citi Field. Patrick Bailey smashed an 8th inning grand slam to give the San Francisco Giants a one-run lead. Things got dicey for Camilo Doval in the ninth inning, but Matt Chapman made the defensive play of the season to secure the final out of the game, and a big Giants win.

The San Francisco Giants turned two months of Drew Pomeranz into several years of Mauricio Dubón thanks to briefly moving him to the bullpen prior to the 2019 trade deadline. The Brewers enjoyed great success from Pomeranz after acquiring him in that trade, and Pomeranz turned that into a lucrative deal with the Padres. Pomeranz was good when on the field for San Diego, but hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 due to injuries.
Earlier today, after he was released by the Dodgers, the SF Giants quickly pounced and signed Pomeranz to a major-league contract. He joins the bullpen immediately. In corresponding moves, the Giants optioned RHP Mason Black, who's struggled mightily in a handful of MLB outings, and DFA'd catcherJakson Reetz. It's an intriguing add for the SF Giants, but it's unclear what Pomeranz can bring to the table after missing so much time in recent seasons.
In other news, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred spoke to reporters about the fact that ABS—or an automated strike zone—will likely be implemented in the majors as a challenge system, and it likely won't come in 2025. The pros and cons of a challenge system are discussed. Additionally, Curt Casali's impact on the Giants is discussed. The team was great in 2021 with Casali as the backup catcher, and he's very much stabilized things for them in his brief time with the SF Giants in 2024 after Patrick Bailey and Tom Murphy were injured in back-to-back games.

The San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates just played one of the wildest series in MLB history. For the first time in MLB history, all three games of a three-game series featured comeback wins of four or more runs. For the SF Giants, it was the first time in franchise history that they had won two games in a row, with both being on the road, after trailing by four-plus runs. The Giants followed up their worst loss of 2024—blowing a four-run ninth-inning lead, with what may have been their two best wins of the season. Wild, wild stuff in Pittsburgh.
Matt Chapman was one of many heroes for the Giants. Chapman played exceptionally well all series long on both sides of the ball. He hit a home run in all three games, including big ones late in the SF Giants' comeback efforts on Wednesday and Thursday. The Giants were down to their final strike with no one on base in the middle game of the series, and Luis Matos singled and aggressively took second on an error in left. Then LaMonte Wade Jr., who leads the majors in walk rate and OBP by a mile, delivered a vintage Late Night LaMonte moment, tying the game with a rocket single to right. The Giants put together a huge four-run rally in the 10th and won. And today they overcame an early Joey Bart grand slam with a five-run eighth en route to another huge win.
Baseball is a game of large samples and the SF Giants are proving that right now. Chapman is a good example, as he struggled mightily for the first month and a half, but is on another planet right now (both with the bat and with the glove). The team overall was below average offensively for much of the season, but suddenly found itself five percent above average by wRC+ coming into today's game. After a 13-hit performance, the Giants' offensive numbers will only look better tomorrow. Most importantly of all, the Giants banked two more wins and pulled to within one game of .500.

The San Francisco Giants orchestrated another huge late-game comeback to win the final game of the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. Entering the 8th inning down 6-2, Matt Chapman blasted a three-run bomb to fuel a five-run inning to take the lead. The bullpen did their job after, as Randy Rodriguez and Tyler Rogers held onto the lead to secure the win. Just their third series win on the road this season, the San Francisco Giants continue their road trip as they face the New York Mets in a three-game set before returning to Oracle Park.

The San Francisco Giants showed some guts today as they battled their way back into this game after falling behind 5-0, ultimately picking up the extra-innings win over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 9-5. Luis Matos energized the San Francisco Giants with a hustle double in the 9th inning, and later scored on a Lamonte Wade Jr single to tie the game at five and send it to extras. Then the bats woke up, as the San Francisco Giants plated four runs in the 10th inning. One day after the Giants let a win slip away in the ninth inning, they steal one back from the Pirates with late game heroics of their own. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The San Francisco Giants were riding high, and it looked like they were on their way to their fifth straight victory. The Giants took a 6-2 lead into the bottom of the ninth, and that's where the nightmare began. Luke Jackson got the first hitter out, but then things unraveled for him and eventually SF Giants closer Camilo Doval. The Giants survived to see extras, but did not score in the 10th and Pittsburgh won it on on pitch in the bottom of the inning.
Meanwhile, there's good news on the injury front, with Patrick Bailey and Blake Snell being activated off the injured list. Those two are among the best players on the Giants, and over time their presence should add up to more wins. Tuesday's loss was a freak incident that happens once or twice over the course of a 162-game season.
The Giants' overall stats and performance thus far is analyzed as we prepare for them to play game No. 50. By all rights, they should've been going for a 25-25 record, which would put them firmly in the playoff hunt as the season is still in its relatively early stages. But the stunning loss set the SF Giants back and they're now back to three games under .500 instead of one. There's no getting around it: last night's loss was painful and definitely stands out as the worst of 2024.

The San Francisco Giants win streak came to an end against the Pittsburgh Pirates after the bullpen blew a four-run lead in the ninth inning. The loss spoils a great outing from Logan Webb, who tossed six innings of two-run ball. Thairo Estrada and Matt Chapman both homered in this one, and the San Francisco Giants' young bats contributed as well. But Marco Luciano's bad play in the field cost them a win in this one.

Luis Matos, Heliot Ramos, and Marco Luciano have brought a jolt of energy (and an influx of wins) to the San Francisco Giants as injury replacements over the last week or two. The trio of young Giants are essentially replacing Austin Slater, Nick Ahmed, and Michael Conforto, who are all on the injured list. What should the SF Giants do when those veterans are ready to return? Have we seen enough of young players like Matos and Ramos to make a trade of Slater or Conforto? Would the Giants dare send either back to Triple-A if they're playing well? Matos in particular looks like a lock to stick in the majors, but Ramos and Luciano must continue to perform to hold onto their current spots given their optionality.
Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of Locked On Giants are:
When’s Patrick Bailey coming back?
Who will be the Giants' All-Stars this year?
Randy Rodriguez: A mainstay or back to Sacramento?
With Keaton Winn hurt and Mason Black struggling, do you think we see Carson Wisenhunt or another Triple-A starter get a shot before Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray come back?

The San Francisco Giants were in need of a spark, and instead they got a supernova. Luis Matos, recently called up from Triple-A as a fill-in for one of the Giants' many injured players, drove in 17 runs in a six-game span on his way to NL Player of the Week honors. No Giants player had accomplished the feat since Brandon Belt in 2018.
Matos wasn't the only SF Giants player to step up, as the team completed a three-game sweep of the Rockies and has suddenly won four straight. The Giants are just 1.5 games out of a playoff spot and have the best record of any non-playoff team in the NL. The Giants appear on paper to be better than their record—even after a 6-3 homestand—so hopefully they can keep the momentum going through Pittsburgh and New York on this upcoming road trip. The SF Giants have gone 15-10 at home but have struggled mightily on the road so far in 2024.
Hot starts for Matos, Heliot Ramos, and Marco Luciano call into question what the Giants should do once they start to get some of their injured players back. Jung Hoo Lee is out of the season, sadly, but Austin Slater, Michael Conforto, and Nick Ahmed should be able to return at some point in the not-too-distant future. How can the Giants send any of these young players down if they're performing this well? It's a tough question to answer. In other news, Patrick Bailey and Blake Snell, both of whom do not create any logjams, are getting closer to returning and that is very much a good thing for the suddenly red-hot SF Giants.

The San Francisco Giants finished off the sweep against the Colorado Rockies to close out the homestand at Oracle Park with a 6-3 record. Matt Chapman is heating up and the youth movement is in full swing, as Heliot Ramos, Luis Matos, and Marco Luciano all contributed to this win today. Jordan Hicks had another rock solid outing on the mound as well. The San Francisco Giants hit the road next to play the Pirates.
