Given multiple leads, lackluster pitching and defense from the San Francisco Giants were unable to secure shutdown innings, as two huge offensive outbursts by the San Diego Padres scuttled the Giants 13-7 on Wednesday afternoon.
The great irony of it all is that San Francisco took an early lead off a miscue from Padres freshly acquired Ted Williams (re)incarnate, Juan Soto.
A single off the bat of Austin Slater in the 3rd skipped by Soto’s glove and gifted them two runs. Slater then scored on a single by Wilmer Flores.
Good vibes in the top of that inning.
