Sabol's shots not enough

SEA 6  SF 5

Logan Webb had strikeout stuff, whiffing eleven in his 6-2/3, but the Mariners chipped away and it was tied 2-2 after seven. Blake Sabol's two-run homer in the 4th gave the Giants a brief lead. Lefty Taylor Rogers finished the 7th and his brother righty Tyler Rogers handled the 8th. Unfortunately Camilo Doval imploded in the 9th, his worst outing of the season, and a taut 2-2 affair was suddenly 6-2 Seattle. Blake Sabol struck again, this time a three-run bomb in the last of the 9th, but it wasn't quite enough. That's three straight losses. The team needs to find that winning mojo again.

It's a day game in San Francisco tomorrow, 1:35 PT.

Happy Fourth of July and GO GIANTS!

Brutal news about Thairo Estrada--fractured hand. He was slumping lately but having a great season overall. That's a big blow to the team!

The Giants have given away far too many runs.

At this point, after today's dispiriting loss, the Giants are 2 / 9 after going 16 / 20. Yes, they're tired and beat up, but they are also gifting runs. Seattle's first run today, perfect example. Yesterday's game would have been much different without the defensive blunders.

At least for game 3, they relied on the baseball Gods and took advantage of the law of reciprocal shutouts!
