In the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, it was a blown save and a walk-off infield single. Ryan Walker (0-1) gave up a game-tying triple to Bryson Stott in the 9th inning and Stott scored on Justin Crawford’s two-out infield single to give the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 comeback win. The blown save wasted an excellent pitching effort from Logan Webb and some standout defensive plays to drop the Giants to 13-17. The game began with such promise. With a 9:30 AM local start, earlier than some of your favorite McCovey Chronicles scribes generally wake up, the Giants put together a first-inning rally that made some early risers rub their eyes in disbelief. Two doubles? In a row? One of which only advanced the runner on second base to third? It was not a dream. Heliot Ramos started off his three-hit afternoon (with a walk!) with a double to center, then doubled off the wall for an almost-home run. According to , an invaluable resource on X.com the everything app, Chapman’s blast would have been a home run in another major league ballpark! Well, one of them at least. Thinking the ball might be caught, Ramos only advanced to third, but it didn’t matter after Contact King came through with an RBI groundout to second. Casey Schmidt and his .523 slugging percentage followed with an RBI single and the Giants had a 2-0 lead against 6-foot-6 Phillies ace Cristopher Sanchez. The Phillies cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning when Webb left a 3-2 cutter over the middle of the plate and hit it halfway to Scranton for his 350th career home run. That tied two-time Giants All-Star Charles “Chili” Davis on the all-time list. Davis left the Giants as a free agent primarily because of how much he hated playing in Candlestick Park to which we say: Fair. That was the lone run allowed by Webb, who went seven innings and gave up seven hits and two walks, while striking out six. It wasn’t the cleanest appearance, but Webb consistently pitched his way out of jams. In both the 3rd and 5th innings, Webb wisely walked Schwarber with one out, then got to ground into an inning-ending double play, the second handled by all by himself. In the fourth, singled on a ball he lined off Webb’s inner thigh, then followed with an opposite-field double that rolled about 170 feet past a shifted infield to put runners on second and third with no outs. But Webb got a strikeout, then got a great play by Matt Chapman throwing out Garcia at the plate. After a successful bunt single by Crawford loaded the bases and deeply confused the Giants broadcasters, who weren’t sure why he opted for a two-out bunt with a runner in scoring position and an .085 hitter on deck. Said hitter, catcher , grounded out to on a play that nearly paralyzed the still-new first-sacker with indecision at first. In the 7th inning, , who went 1-for-4, made a great play to throw out Crawford trying to steal for Webb’s penultimate out. Surely Crawford’s speed wouldn’t hurt them later! While Webb was thwarting the Phillies, the Giants’ bats weren’t doing much damage against Sanchez, who gave up two runs, four hits, and three walks while striking out seven in 6.2 innings. Ramos singled and Chapman walked in the 5th, but Sanchez got Arraez to fly out and battled back from a 3-0 count to retire Schmidt. After the first inning, Sanchez allowed just one hit and two walks. Twice, Sanchez retired eight hitters in a row. Ramos and Chapman gave him trouble, which is why he was pulled for with Ramos coming up with two outs in the 7th. The Giants threatened again in the 8th when Chapman and Schmidt both singled. Left relieved Kerkering and struck out Devers and retired Adames. They got two more runners on in the 8th when Ramos and Bailey got hits with two outs, but struck out Chapman to end the inning and eventually earn his first win of the season. They had chances to pad their lead, but the Giants are like a California homeowner near an earthquake fault line: It’s way harder than it should be to get insurance. In the 9th, Garcia got his second infield hit of the game on a ball Arraez knocked down on the far side of second base but couldn’t throw him out. Then defensive positioning hurt the Giants again when Stott pulled a ball down the right field line with shifted well into center field against the left-handed batter. Lee had to run forever to get the ball and Stott got an easy triple. Two batters later, the game was over. Manager Tony Vitello made defensive substitutions for the bottom of the 7th, bringing in to play center and moving Lee to right. The move may have been motivated by the left-handed Sanchez exiting the game, though Gilbert had to face a lefty in the 9th anyway. Vitello may have also been motivated by Encarnacion’s own defense, specifically when he clearly believed there were only two outs when he caught an inning-ending fly ball in the second inning. He received a razzing from his teammates and an adorable thumbs-up from Lee. The Giants don’t have time to dwell on the loss since they’re making like Ernie Banks and play9ing two. Don’t eat too many hoagies from Wawa or fill up on Tastykakes during the break, fellas!
