Ramos Starts with a Bang 
The game began for our San Francisco Giants with a promising blast! Austin Slater led off with a single, and then Heliot Ramos crushed a two-run homer to left center, putting us ahead 2-0 in the first inning. It was exactly the kind of start we needed to set the tone. Ramos, you beauty! 
Holding the Lead, Barely... 
Despite a solo homer by the Angels' Mickey Moniak in the 2nd inning, our defense held strong. Curt Casali even managed to double in the 2nd inning, though unfortunately we couldn't capitalize on that. Still, holding a 2-1 lead early on felt encouraging. We added another run in the 5th inning when Ramos doubled to bring home Casali. That made it 3-1. Sweet!Angels Fight Back 
But, man, the Angels wouldn't let up. Logan O'Hoppe tied the game at 3-3 with a massive two-run homer in the 6th inning. It was a serious momentum shift. We had a chance to respond immediately when Nick Ahmed advanced to third on an error in the bottom of the 6th but unfortunately came up empty.Heartbreak in the 7th 
The 7th inning wasn't our best. Schanuel walked, stole second, and advanced to third on an error. Luis Rengifo then singled to center, bringing Schanuel home and giving the Angels a 4-3 lead. We tried to rally in the bottom of the inning when Ramos hit a ground rule double, but we just couldn't bring him home.Couldn't Get That Final Break 
In the final two innings, despite our bullpen and defense keeping the Angels from adding any more runs, we just couldn't muster the clutch hits we needed. Michael Conforto hit for Casali and Patrick Bailey hit for Slater in the 9th, but both went down swinging. Tough luck.Final Thoughts 
The Giants showed heart and tenacity, but ultimately fell short 4-3 against the Angels. Heliot Ramos had a game to remember with a homer and a double, and the early lead energized us. This one stings, but we have to keep our heads up and look forward to the next game. Let's go Giants!
