I was tempted to copy-and-paste the recap from Thursday’s game here for today’s 7-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
It was its spiritual twin in many ways: decent but strained starting pitching, missed scoring opportunities for San Francisco, an inability to finish opposing hitters in 2-strike counts or close out innings, a dramatic Darin Ruf home run to tie the game and offer a flash of hope for Giant fans, a lead briefly held, a defensive miscue, a bullpen pitcher unable to hold the line in late-game tie.
Play with the order a bit in the sequence of events, but the series finale that capped the four game sweep in Los Angeles had it all in 2022 San Francisco Giants bingo.
