Giants secure first sweep of 2023
Much like a Curvier’s beaked whale on its record-breaking 4-hour underwater dive, the San Francisco Giants offense spent most of Wednesday’s finale against the Philadelphia Phillies underwater.
But two brief run-scoring breaches in the 1st and 8th innings were enough to secure the 7 - 4 win and the Giants first series sweep of 2023.

Three consecutive, 2-out slaps off the bats of Casey Schmitt, Blake Sabol, and Brandon Crawford knocked in 4 runs for an early crooked number lead.
