The San Francisco Giants came back late in the game once again to beat the New York Mets 7-2.
This is a sentence I’m not sure I would have believed early in the game. Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino had the Giants locked down early, not allowing a base runner until the fifth inning, when Matt Chapman walked, and not allowing a hit until the sixth inning, when Brett Wisely got his first of three hits of the game.
Jordan Hicks had a shaky start. Although he only allowed one run (a solo home run to Sterling Marte in the second inning), he struggled with his command and his pitch-count reflected it it early.
