Good morning, San Francisco Giants’ fans, and welcome to the Giants Morning Minute. On Sunday, the Giants dropped a heartbreaker in the series finale to the Baltimore Orioles, 8-7. Brad Brach (7-1) earned the win in relief, while Santiago Casilla (2-4) earned a loss. Zach Britton, unsurprisingly, closed the game for his 37th save.
The Los Angeles Dodgers also lost on Sunday, dropping their series finale to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-3. The Giants’ lead in the National League West remains at one game, and the race to see which team can be the most mediocre on their way to the division title is still on.
