The San Francisco Giants, who were able to overcome a 2-run hole after an unfurnished defensive 1st inning against Arizona on Thursday, couldn’t pull the same rabbit out of their hat on Friday.
A wide relay to second from Tyler Fitzgerald gifted the Padres two runs in the 1st. It ended up being plenty. The Giants spent the next eight offensive frames flailing their arms after the baseball with little success, managing just a solo homer in the 6th from Michael Conforto in the 5-1 loss.
The 1st wasn’t off to the greatest start to begin with.
