Fernando Tatis Jr. had Tony Gwynn with him when he rounded the bases after a dramatic, go-ahead home run against the Chicago Cubs last week. The San Diego Padres star stutter-stepped into third base with his right cleat, designed with the look of the team's home white pinstriped jerseys from 1998, when Gwynn led the Padres to their most recent World Series. Perhaps divine providence led Tatis to unveil those custom cleats on the 20th anniversary of the first Padres game at Petco Park, where a statue of Gwynn stands beyond the center field fence. Or maybe it's just the swagger and flair that sets Tatis apart from most other ballplayers.

San Francisco Giants' Poor Offense With Men On Base Continues To Haunt Team It was another rough showing from the San Francisco Giants with runners on base, something that set up a rubber match against one of the worst teams in baseball. Author: Brad Wakai Apr 17, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants MLB Miami Marlins Things have not gone great for the San Francisco Giants offensively this season. Through 18 games, they are scoring only 4.22 runs per contest and sit 18th in total runs scored. Not quite what they were hoping for when adding Jung Hoo Lee, Jorge Soler, and Matt Chapman in free agency. That was on display Tuesday night against the lowly Miami Marlins when the Giants only plated

Ryan Weathers struck out a career-high 10 before departing because of cramps in his left hand, and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3 on Tuesday night. Weathers (2-1) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. The left-hander warmed up for the seventh, but was replaced by Burch Smith.

Once again, momentum lasted just nine innings for the Giants as they fell to the Miami Marlins 6-3 on Tuesday.

The Giants' relief corps, maligned for the season's opening week, had started to turn things around on this road trip. Walker lived up to his last name, and Taylor Rogers wasn't much more effective. The relief duo allowed the Marlins to score three runs in the seventh inning, which put the game out of reach for the Giants in a 6-3 loss in front of another sparse crowd at loanDepot Park. Brought in to face the left-handed Luis Arraez with the bases loaded and one run already in, Rogers got ahead 0-1, then fired a 93-mph fastball.
