The San Francisco Giants 3-2 series wrap victory over the San Diego Padres wasn’t a resounding one, nor awe-inspiring, nor reassuring in any way. The win was a gift. The greatest offensive player for the Giants in —checks notes — two games was Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim.
But at the end of a 10-game divisional slog dealing with some of the top lineups in the game while face fresh arms, and dealing with a scoreless drought, a team has little pride. Two errors leading to three unearned runs, the bare minimum needed to eek a ‘W’ — the Giants will take it.
