The San Francisco Giants got back in the swing of things today as their offense scored eight runs in their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Robbie Ray made his long-awaited debut for the San Francisco Giants and lived up to "former Cy Young Award Winner" expectations, as he tossed five hitless innings. The offense found success with runners in scoring position, at least for tonight, as the team went 5-14 in such situations. The San Francisco Giants can escape Chavez Ravine with a series split if they win tomorrow. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SupplyHouse SupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

The San Francisco Giants dropped another one to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, final score tonight 5-2. This marks their seventh consecutive loss at Chavez Ravine, and the team has been flat out bad since the All-Star break. The offense went 1-9 with runners in scoring position tonight after coming up hitless in such situations last night. Timely hitting from the Dodgers, including Shohei Ohtani, put them over the top tonight. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SupplyHouse SupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

The San Francisco Giants fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in the first game of a four-game series at Dodger Stadium. The San Francisco Giants couldn't buy a hit with runners in scoring position today, as they went 0-7 in such situations. Blake Snell was good again tonight for the San Francisco Giants as he tossed six innings of two-run ball against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tyler Fitzgerald homered for the fourth consecutive game, but other than that the San Francisco Giants offense is back to looking for answers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hayden Birdsong to the rescue. The San Francisco Giants needed a win on Sunday to avoid being swept by the Colorado Rockies in their first series out of the All-Star break. And Birdsong—with 27 swings and misses—put the SF Giants on his back. Birdsong's 27 whiffs came in Denver, a notoriously tough place to pitch, and in only six innings of work. And yet it was tied for the most by a pitcher in MLB this season. Hayden Birdsong also racked up 12 strikeouts, the most by a Giants rookie since Tim Lincecum in 2007. It was also the most strikeouts by a Giants pitcher in the history of Coors Field, which dates back 30 years to 1995. Another 22-year-old SF Giants rookie also pitched great in this series, as Kyle Harrison pitched his second scoreless outing at Coors Field of the season, the only Giants pitcher to do that twice in one year over 5+ innings of work. Those were great signs. But unfortunately, and in part due to some miserable umpiring, the SF Giants lost two of three in Denver. Now the San Francisco Giants head to Los Angeles for a four-game series with the dreaded Dodgers, who will go with a rookie making his MLB debut tonight. On the other side, the SF Giants will counter with Blake Snell, who's been sensational in his last two outings since coming off the IL. And, what's more, the Giants expect to active Robbie Ray off the 60-day IL during this series. This is a series where the Giants just need to avoid disaster and try to at least split. Their schedule after LA gets much softer with the Rockies and A's coming into town.

The San Francisco Giants rode rookie Hayden Birdsong to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies, avoiding the sweep at Coors Field. Hayden Birdsong struck out 12 Rockies hitters over six innings of work on the mound, the most strikeouts in a single game by a San Francisco Giants' rookie since Tim Lincecum back in 2007. Jorge Soler launched a 478 foot home run, the longest in all of MLB this season, and Tyler Fitzgerald stayed hot with another home run of his own. The San Francisco Giants take on the Los Angeles Dodgers next. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SupplyHouse SupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

The San Francisco Giants had ideas of making a second half run, but ensured a loss in their first series out of the All-Star Break today after falling to the Colorado Rockies, final score 4-3. Logan Webb gave up two home runs tonight, something he's been more susceptible to as the season has gone on after giving up just two home runs in the first two months of the season. Tyler Fitzgerald had a nice game for the San Francisco Giants at the dish and in the field, but the rest of the team failed to really get anything going. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The San Francisco Giants couldn't capitalize on a fantastic outing by Kyle Harrison as they fall to the Colorado Rockies 7-3. Kyle Harrison tossed five shutout innings at Coors Field before yielding to the bullpen, who promptly surrendered the San Francisco Giants early lead. They also had a bit of bad luck, as Brett Wisely ripped a would-be double with two runners on base that clipped the first base umpire and bounced back to the Rockies first baseman, who stepped on the bag for the out and all but ended the San Francisco Giants scoring threat.

The San Francisco Giants kick off the second half of their season tonight (even though they've played 97 games and have just 65 remaining, so they're well past the true halfway point). The Giants have a soft portion of their schedule essentially from now until early September, and they must take advantage. It all kicks off tonight with the SF Giants facing the Rockies for three games in Denver. Seven of their next 11 games are against the lowly Rockies, but their other four are road games in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so the Giants must take advantage of Colorado and it starts tonight. Among the questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast are: Would you prefer a trade for Bo Bichette or Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? If so, which prospects would we need to give up? Marco Luciano and Carson Whisenhunt for Bichette? I think we need an everyday SS he seems like he needs a change of scenery. What’s your prediction on the record of the Giants' next 20 games? The next 13 games include road series against the Rockies (3) and Dodgers (4) and home series against the Rockies (4) and A’s (2).

The San Francisco Giants are a disappointing 47-50 at the All-Star break, but contrary to popular belief, their sub-.500 record has more to do with run prevention than run scoring. The Giants' position players, led by young players and veterans alike, were mostly solid in the 2024 season's first half. Patrick Bailey added offense to his superb defense and was the Giants' best position player. Heliot Ramos came out of nowhere to become an All-Star—particularly important in the absence of Jung Hoo Lee, who was lost for the season due to a shoulder injury. Matt Chapman was a solid contributor on both sides of the ball for the Giants and the underlying numbers suggest there's more in the tank with his bat. LaMonte Wade Jr. leads MLB in on-base percentage when the minimum is set to 210 plate appearances. Only a hamstring injury could slow Wade down and keep him from being an All-Star. On the disappointing side of things, Jorge Soler, brought in on a three-year contract to mash as the designated hitter, has slumped to roughly average offensive production and it's been a struggle basically all year. Luis Matos had an incredible first week of his season but has since put up dreadful numbers, although it's not time to give up on the promising 22-year-old. Wilmer Flores, last year's most productive hitter on the SF Giants, has been among their worst so far this year.

The last time the San Francisco Giants had the No. 13 overall pick, the year was 2022 and they selected Patrick Bailey. Previously, the last time the Giants took a player out of Florida State University, they selected Buster Posey No. 5 overall. The SF Giants' No. 13 pick on Sunday night wasn't a catcher, but it was a well-rounded, polished outfield bat that fits well into their system. With the Giants' second pick—which came in the fourth round since they lost their second and third round picks due to signing qualifying offer free agents—the team selected Mississippi State outfielder Dakota Jordan 116th overall despite his ranking as MLB.com's No. 34 overall prospect. This makes Jordan a potential major steal for the San Francisco Giants. It's worth noting that the Giants' front office has taken criticism for poor drafting under the Farhan Zaidi-led regime. However, that notion is beginning to change as the SF Giants have had recent success with the likes of Bailey, Kyle Harrison, Hayden Birdsong, and others. The narrative is certainly changing for the Giants and their draft picks, and only time will tell if that trend continues following the Giants' 2024 draft.

The San Francisco Giants had won the first game in six consecutive series, but nonetheless they had dropped their last two series. Going into Sunday's first-half finale against the Twins, the Giants were at risk of dropping their third straight series after winning the opening game. It would've been a really tough blow that would've pushed the SF Giants to five games under .500 and four games back in the wild card standings. But Blake Snell and Mike Yastrzesmksi had other ideas. Snell was perfect into the seventh in what was easily his best outing as a Giant. Yastrzemski was 3-for-3 with two doubles and triple, plus a walk, in the dramatic, walk-off 3-2 win. It was the SF Giants' ninth walk-off win of the season, tied for the most in the major leagues. The Giants enter the break at 47-50 and three games back in the wild card standings. Camilo Doval was staked to a 2-0 lead as he entered to close out the first half on a high note. It's been a rocky first half for Doval, and unfortunately his issues persisted. Doval walked the leadoff hitter and allowed two doubles, resulting in a tie game. Giants manager Bob Melvin lifted Doval in favor of Ryan Walker, who stranded the go-ahead run on second with two outs on two pitches. Fittingly, right at the break (which is a time for reflection), it appears that Walker may be in line to, at least temporarily, take over as the SF Giants' closer given his consistent dominant and Doval's consistent struggles.

Mike Yastrzemski and the San Francisco Giants walk-off the Minnesota Twins in a wild 3-2 win at Oracle Park to close out the first half of the season. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, Mike Yastrzemski gave one a ride to triples alley that Manuel Margot dove for but couldn't get to, allowing Yastrzemski to get to third base on the play. Then, an errant throw in to third on the same play sailed into the San Francisco Giants dugout to allow Yastrzemski to score the winning run. After seven shutout innings from Blake Snell, Camilo Doval blew it in the ninth inning as he gave up two runs on a walk and two doubles in the frame before being pulled for Ryan Walker, who shut down the inning afterwards to setup the Yastrzemski walk-off.

The San Francisco Giants fell to the Minnesota Twins 4-2 in the second game of their three-game set. With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Patrick Bailey launched a 417 foot triple to the deepest part of Oracle Park, narrowly missing a home run on a ball that would have been a bomb in 29/30 MLB parks. The San Francisco Giants failed to get him home in the inning, and couldn't pull off the comeback in the ninth. Meanwhile, Sergio Romo, Santiago Casilla, Jeremy Affeldt, and Javier Lopez were all inducted into the San Francisco Giants Wall of Fame today to honor their contributions to the organization during their three World Series victories. The teams matchup one more time before the All-Star Break. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SupplyHouse SupplyHouse.com is the reliable way to get parts fast.

The San Francisco Giants' last two series have been defined by disappointment, mostly because they won the first game only to lose the next two both times. Last night against the Minnesota Twins, the Giants won their sixth straight series opener, with the Giants able to secure series wins four times despite the two recent letdowns. Can the Giants buck the recent trend and win this series against a good Twins team? Or will the disappointment deepen with another tough series loss? The SF Giants' offense certainly can't be blamed for the fact that the team is three games under .500 with two games to go before the All-Star break. The Giants are nearly Top 10 in wRC+ (104), whereas they're in the bottom five or so in team ERA. The Giants' offense was on display last night, as they pushed across seven runs despite the Twins having one of their top arms on the mound. Another key to the victory, and indeed a key to the season right now, was Kyle Harrison. Harrison missed almost a month with an ankle sprain, and the Giants were left scrambling for arms as they only had two starters for a while, with Jordan Hicks, who seems to be running on fumes right now, one of them. Harrison's return to the rotation didn't go well in his first outing, as he was not sharp against the Guardians. But last night, Harrison allowed just one run as he pitched into the sixth inning, which was a huge boon to a beat up San Francisco Giants pitching staff.

The San Francisco Giants beat the Minnesota Twins, 7-1, in the first game of their three-game matchup ahead of the MLB All-Star Break. Brett Wisely was a home run shy of hitting for the cycle, but still smashed three hits tonight, including two into triples alley, and plated two runs while scoring one himself. Kyle Harrison took a step forward as a pitcher tonight, as he was incredibly efficient and only surrendered one run in his 5.1 innings of work. The San Francisco Giants did a good job getting to Joe Ryan early and working deep counts against a guy who rarely walks anyone. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Two series in a row, the San Francisco Giants have won the first game only to lose the final two. It's a brutal result for a team that has been struggling to reach and surpass the .500 mark all season. If the Giants could've just won two of those four games, they would be 47-47. Instead, the SF Giants are 45-49 as they enter the final series of the first half against the talented Minnesota Twins. In the middle game of the SF Giants' series vs. Toronto, Logan Webb was staked to a 2-0 lead and pitched four scoreless innings before imploding for one of his worst starts in recent memory. Webb's rough outing was followed by another poor showing from Jordan Hicks, who was so good for the first month and a half of the season, but the last month and a half has been really rough. Hicks appears to be leaking oil and is a candidate to move back to the bullpen when Robbie Ray and Alex Cobb return from injuries. The San Francisco Giants' upcoming series against the Twins feels important. Some NL wild card teams have started to gain a little separation from the .500 mark, and the Giants are four games under. At the very least, winning a series against a good team would give the Giants some momentum going into the All-Star break. The task won't be easy, however, as the Twins' lineup and defense is quite good, and their best two starters are lined up to start the first two games of the series vs. Giants rookie starters Kyle Harrison and Hayden Birdsong.
