Giants blow a lead for the 5th consecutive game
At first glance, the San Francisco Giants started their Tuesday game against the Miami Marlins in perfect fashion. With a youngster, Edward Cabrera, who was averaging nearly two baserunners per inning on the mound, a path to success was laid out before them.
They took that path in the first inning.
After LaMonte Wade Jr. came a questionable call away from yet another walk, Thairo Estrada hit a one-out single. Perhaps signaling some aggression as the Giants try to force their way out of a slump, Estrada broke for second and successfully nabbed the base.
And then Mike Yastrzemski blasted a two-run bomb.
