What began as a tightly contested pitching duel starring a revitalized Tyler Beede ended up as a frustrating, rotten, dull loss. It was a 1-1 game going into the sixth, and Beede looked as good as he had in over a month. Everything went downhill from there. At first, it only looked like the Giants would lose a game they probably could have won, but then the Giants lost one of their better bullpen arms when Trevor Gott came out of the game with an apparent elbow injury.
Not even a nonsense rally to start the ninth inning could lessen that sting.
