The San Francisco Giants defeated the Cincinnati Reds today, 5-1.
It all started off with the biggest swing of the bat of the game in the bottom of the first inning. LaMonte Wade, Jr. and Patrick Bailey got things started with singles, and Heliot Ramos walked to load the bases with two outs.
It was at this point that the familiar mental mantra of “how will the Giants avoid scoring this time?” was finally incorrect, as Matt Chapman set the tone of this game in a big way with a grand slam to center field.
