Final Score: Giants 5, Phillies 4
SAN FRANCISCO — Defense, San Francisco and the month of September each did to the Phillies on Saturday as they are wont to do.
Behind several costly misplays, an uninspiring Noah Syndergaard outing and multiple blown opportunities at the plate, the Phillies fell to the Giants 5-4 at Oracle Park, sealing the defeat in the three-game weekend set. The Phillies will leave San Francisco with a series loss for the seventh time in their last eight trips.
The Phillies haven’t won a series in San Francisco since 2013.
