Kyle Schwarber sent the fourth pitch of the game over the left-center-field wall, Cristopher Sanchez logged six scoreless innings and the Philadelphia Phillies salvaged one win in their three-game series against the host San Francisco Giants with a 6-1 victory on Wednesday afternoon.
The Giants attempted to make Bryce Harper feel uncomfortable in the batter's box and it had the desired effect, more or less.

Kyle Harrison vs. Cristopher Sánchez
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this series against the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon at Oracle Park. And on a personal note, I’m extremely grateful to not have to struggle to spell Philadelphia any more times this season.
Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Kyle Harrison, who enters today’s game with a 3.90 ERA, 4.11 FIP, with 55 strikeouts to 21 walks in 60 innings...

Oh no, his life is totally fine. The optics on his career, though? Less than.
The San Francisco Giants waited out Blake Snell and his agent Scott Boras until the cost to sign the 2023 NL Cy Young avoided a Barry Zito/Johnny Cueto situation where they paid a pitcher a lot of money for a long time and mainly got the pitcher’s decline. Snell and Boras took as a consolation prize a high AAV, with the downside risk of Snell getting off to a slow or bad...

It’s Wednesday morning, and you deserve a fun story.
Good morning, baseball fans!
I’ve got a silly one for you today, so enjoy. Former San Francisco Giants manager has a lot of achievements under his belt. Not only was he the skipper for all three of the Giants’ World Series Championships between 2010-2014, he lead the Texas Rangers to their first World Series Championship ever in his first year back from “retirement” last season....

13 years later, a blockbuster trade is explained.
Forget the teams. Forget the records. Forget the narratives. This wasn’t supposed to be a fair fight. It had nothing to do with the San Francisco Giants. It had nothing to do with the Philadelphia Phillies. Styles make fights, and sometimes fights aren’t fair.
This wasn’t the team in red vs. the team in orange. It wasn’t the Giants vs. the Phillies. It wasn’t the powerhouse vs. the team trying to...
Tyler Fitzgerald raced from second to third, then third to home on consecutive fly balls in the bottom of the 10th inning Tuesday night, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 1-0 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.

Erik Miller vs. Zack Wheeler
The San Francisco Giants continue this series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at Oracle Park.
Make sure you take a look at Bryan’s updated on the roster moves so you’ve got an idea of who is currently on the team before tonight’s game.
Leading the charge for tonight’s bullpen game for the Giants will be left-hander Erik Miller, who enters today’s game with a 4.38 ERA, 5.08 FIP,...
The Giants made a series of transactions Tuesday.

There’s a “Hey, It’s That Guy!” and a “Who?” along with a “Him?” as the Giants reshuffle their position player deck.
I step away from the computer for an hour and all heck breaks loose... at least at the back of the roster. This afternoon, the San Francisco Giants announced a series of roster moves to address yesterday’s unfortunate hamstring injury sustained by LaMonte Wade Jr. along with their pitching’s unfortunate......

Yesterday’s action on the farm.
Apologies for the sporadic Minor League Baseball updates lately, but I’ve been traveling a bit and it’s thrown off my schedule. But the San Francisco Giants had two of their affiliates in action on Monday, so we might as well talk about them!

The latest Giants news.
Rejoice, San Francisco Giants fans. For yesterday was a glorious, glorious day. Not only did the Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-4, but Ángel Hernández retired. Could you imagine anything better?
It wasn’t all peaches and roses though, as first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr., left Monday’s game after injuring his hamstring on a double. The Giants announced that Wade has a hamstring strain and will have an MRI today, but...
The San Francisco Giants hope a strained hamstring suffered by hot-hitting LaMonte Wade Jr. doesn't stall their offensive momentum as they continue a three-game series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.
Mike Yastrzemski, Heliot Ramos and Brett Wisely -- the bottom three batters in the order -- combined for five hits and six RBIs Monday afternoon and the San Francisco Giants took advantage of some shoddy defense on the part of the visiting Philadelphia Phillies for an 8-4 victory in the opener of a three-game series.

Blake Snell vs. Taijuan Walker.
Hey, the San Francisco Giants are hosting the Philadelphia Phillies! I forgot to put up a gamethread, but better late than never, right?
Anyway, it’s Blake Snell vs. Taijuan Walker. You probably already know that because the game started half an hour ago. Enjoy. Go Giants. They’re winning right now. Don’t blow it, dorks. You’ve been warned.
Adios, pelota!

The Giants come home after a fun road trip, but they’ll be facing a team that’s better than them in practically every way. Does the fun ride end here?
These two teams met at the beginning of the month and so what’s a bit of elegance, the San Francisco Giants will get to face off against a team that’s clearly better than them and have the chance to gauge just how much better they’ve become over the past few weeks.
Ever since...

Who will pitch? No one knows.
The schedule-makers did the San Francisco Giants no favors this week, as the team returned from a six-game East Coast road trip on Sunday, and not only doesn’t get Monday off, but has to play a day game. Just for good measure, that game is against the Philadelphia Phillies, arguably baseball’s best team ... and a squad that already swept the Giants in a four-game set this season.
Close watchers of both the games and...

I guess the last thing the Giants want is a lead in the 9th.
The San Francisco Giants road trip ended as it began—with a blown lead in the 9th and a blown gem by their ace Logan Webb.
Like stuffing slices of tender and juicy and rare smoked tri-tip between two frozen Eggo waffles—it could’ve been a helluva of a sandwich.
Yup, a 6-0 road trip was well within San Francisco’s reach, but they botched the bread.
The New York Mets appeared pinned, down...
