The San Francisco Giants dropped game two of this series against the Minnesota Twins 4-2.
I’d like to preface this recap by pointing out the elephant in the room. Today’s game was a national broadcast on a major television network. A major news event occurred during the game, so everything from the top of the second to the bottom of the fourth was superseded for breaking news coverage. So I’ll be using MLB’s Game Day summary for that period of the game.
Things started off a little shaky for starting pitcher Hayden Birdsong, who hit Willi Castro in the first at bat of the game.
