It was a quiet and gloomy night for the Giants in the Twin Cities. A walk-off walk in the bottom of the tenth handed San Francisco a frustrating 3-2 loss.
Not only did San Francisco's lineup scratch across just one run against Gray and one against the Minnesota bullpen, but the first run in the fifth, prior to Tommy La Stella's sacrifice fly, matched the total number of runs scored over San Francisco's previous 25 innings.
This goes without saying, but the Giants simply will not be a playoff team if they continue to swing the bats the way that they have since the All-Star break. In the previous 10 games, San Francisco's bullpen had surrendered just seven earned runs in 32 innings pitched, good for a collective 1.97 ERA.However, after Cobb departed, the Giants' bullpen was able to preserve a 2-0 lead ... until the bottom of the ninth. With Doval on to complete a four-out save, Minnesota rallied in the ninth with two outs and a runner on base. With Max Kapler at second, Carlos Correa and Jake Cave each singled, scoring two runs and tying the game at two apiece.
