The San Francisco Giants' never-give-up attitude, echoing their 2021 107-win team's slogan, was on full display during their recent must-win games. Even after a hiccup from Brandon Crawford led to two runs, the Giants charged back immediately, and ultimately achieved victory with Blake Sabol and LaMonte Wade Jr. shining as the 10th-inning heroes.
The playoff race remains tense: had the Giants won and Arizona lost, they'd be just 0.5 games behind. But with Arizona's clutch triumph, the Giants' victory was crucial to stay only 1.5 games back, with a tense 18 games left.
Meanwhile, drama ensues off the field. Alex Cobb's gritty performance, despite battling a left hip impingement, was commendable. Concurrently, Ross Stripling's allegations about being placed on the "phantom IL" stirs controversy, casting doubts over his future with the Giants. As the saga unfolds, Sean Manaea's return to the starting rotation tonight after a long hiatus since May 10 adds another layer of excitement.
