It’s easy to peruse the box score and think that the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres in the first inning. That it was a game devoid of mood swings.
After all, the Giants jumped on the Padres early. They loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning before Kris Bryant knocked them all in with a double.
It was a 3-0 lead, and drag your finger across the inning-by-inning line score and you’ll think that was that. The game was decided in the first inning.
