The San Francisco Giants are back in the loss column, but this one felt somewhat predictable once the Philadelphia Phillies made a managerial change and came out with urgency. I’m not overreacting yet — we saw a similar bounce-back spot from Philadelphia last time these teams met. Still, the same issue keeps showing up: at this point in the season, it feels safe to assume there will be at least one game every series where the Giants simply don’t hit. We break down another quiet offensive night, defense that was clean enough but far from sharp, and why consistency remains the biggest question for this team. Plus, reaction to the Giants bringing back Gregory Santos and what he could mean for a bullpen that continues to evolve. Also ahead: a preview of a key matchup with Logan Webb taking on Cristopher Sánchez as the Giants try to avoid letting this series slip away.
