PHILADELPHIA — As Wednesday’s trade deadline came to a close, the Giants’ front office put the finishing touches on a flood of last-minute deals in a dizzying run that left the team’s roster transformed.
As the fifth inning of Wednesday’s game unfolded, the Giants’ offense packed a punch with a flurry of home runs in a dizzying run that left the Phillies unable to recover.
The Giants’ roster underwent late changes, but on the final day of the month, they achieved the same result that’s become familiar for them throughout a hot July.
Catcher Buster Posey, third baseman Pablo Sandoval and center fielder Kevin Pillar all went deep in the fifth inning against the Phillies as the Giants closed the month with a 5-1 victory.
