And he’s going out and playing the game hard and not recklessly, but just with the passion.”Another d̶a̶y̶ inning, another @ZackGelof highlight pic.twitter.com/VLDUQS75No...

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:21:17 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – After scoring just 18 runs and earning just two wins in six games at their China Basin ballpark, maybe it’s a good time for the San Francisco Giants to hit the road – even if they are set to face two of the National League’s best teams.Right-hander Ross Stripling struggled and the Giants were unable to find a timely hit in a 6-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday as they closed out a challenging six-game homestand with a 2-4 record.San Francisco, which has lost four consecutive series and is dangerously close to falling out of a playoff spot, now starts a six-game road trip on Friday with a three-game set with the MLB-leading Atlanta Braves. That’s followed by three games with the Philadelphia Phillies, who lead the NL Wild Card race.It’s all the Giants can look forward to after an at-times humbling six-game homestand in which they lost three games by five or more runs, including a 9-3 thrashing by the American League-West leading Texas Rangers on Saturday...
