You don’t score runs, you lose. You score runs, you lose. So it goes for the San Francisco Giants who dropped Sunday’s finale against Minnesota 7-6, mercifully ending a weekend to forget.
There’s a lot to go over in this one, but let’s start with the end.
Ryan Walker, brought on to protect a one-run lead in the 10th, needed unproductive outs. After Tyler Rogers struck out the side in the 9th, San Francisco relievers were on a 5-K streak when Walker took the mound. More whiff would’ve been more than welcome, but that’s been a source of Walker’s 2025 struggles.
