Tough Break in Extra Innings 
It's always a nail-biter when it comes down to extras, and last night was no exception for our San Francisco Giants as we faced the San Diego Padres. Despite a solid start and a critical early lead, we couldn't hold on and ultimately fell 3-2 in the 10th inning.
Holding Strong Early 
Our ace defense shone brightly throughout the early innings, with Heliot Ramos starring in the bottom of the 3rd to drive a two-run blast to center, bringing home Patrick Bailey and giving us the initial lead. The excitement in Oracle Park was palpable as Ramos rounded the bases—such an exhilarating moment!
Bailey also contributed a critical double, setting up the homer that electrified the crowd. Meanwhile, our pitching staff kept the powerful Padres lineup quiet early on, giving us a fantastic foundation.
Late Inning Drama 
The Padres' comeback mirrored a chess match as they took advantage of a rare slip-up in the 9th. With Manny Machado delivering a clutch single to tie the game, it was clear this one was headed for extra innings.
Despite our best efforts, including a slick sac bunt by Casey Schmitt in the bottom of the 10th to advance the pinch runner Christian Koss to third, the game slipped away when Jake Cronenworth drove in the decisive run for the Padres in the top of the inning. The tension was thick, but ultimately, the baseball gods weren’t in our favor this time.
Next Game Optimism 
It's disheartening to lose a close one like this, in such a dramatic fashion no less, but we're staying optimistic for our next outing. Fingers crossed we'll bounce back stronger, channeling the grit and heart from this game.
Let's go, Giants!
