Juan Soto made MLB history with a clutch homer as the Mets swept the Giants and extended their win streak to seven.

For Matt Chapman, it shouldn't even be a question which direction the Giants should take heading into the trade deadline.

The San Francisco Giants are treading dangerous waters heading into the trade deadline. While it's not quite clear yet which direction the Giants will be taking, for third baseman Matt Chapman, it shouldn't even be a question. Chapman, who tried to put the Giants on his back on Sunday by hitting two home runs and driving in all of his team's runs in their 5-3 loss to the New York Mets, believes that the team's trade for Rafael Devers earlier in the year should be all the indication that's needed for which direction the front office has to take.

Matt Chapman’s two homers weren’t enough after two Mets went deep on the Giants’ best reliever during a bullpen game. Lou Seal’s parents must have been crushed.

The Pittsburgh Pirates get an opportunity to continue their run of spoiling other teams' postseason hopes when they open a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. The Pirates, the last-place club in the National League Central, hit rock bottom last Sunday when they were beaten for the third time in a row at home by the team with the fewest wins in the American League, the Chicago White Sox.

Kodai Senga is holding himself to a higher standard after struggling a bit in his start for the Mets on Sunday vs. the Giants.

The San Francisco Giants' season is at a crossroads. Fresh off a demoralizing three-game series sweep at the hands of the New York Mets in which they made some history they would much rather forget about completely, the Giants now stand just two games above .500, losing ground in the playoff race with each defeat. At the very least, the Giants are expected to be active prior to the trade deadline. General manager Buster Posey's phone is definitely ringing non-stop, especially if the report from ESPN's Buster Olney (as per J.P. Hoornstra of Newsweek) that other general managers are texting him that they are proposing trades to the Giants GM is to be believed.

The Giants would much rather forget about the dreadful series that they recently concluded against the Mets, in which they were swept.

The San Francisco Giants haven't been very good coming out of the All-Star break. This loss seals the series sweep in the Mets' favor, plunging the Giants further down their misery. The Giants' offense has ranked 24th since coming out of the All-Star break, scoring 37 runs in nine games, but it's in the Mets series where they simply couldn't make their opportunities count. On Sunday, they went hitless in seven at-bats with runners in scoring position, with Matt Chapman's two home runs driving in their three runs on the night (his two-run shot in the bottom of the fifth was with Willy Adames at first base).

What Buster Posey did today goes against the wishes of Giants fans.

Starling Marte was contributing offensively for the Mets before he hit the injured list in early July, and since his return, he has regained that momentum.

The San Francisco Giants are set to promote top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt for his Major League debut on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Oracle Park. Manager Bob Melvin confirmed the move following the Giants' 5-3 loss to the New York Mets, a defeat that was their ninth in the last 11 games and left them with a 54–52 record, three games behind the Padres for the final National League Wild Card spot. Whisenhunt, a 24-year-old left-hander and the Giants' No. 3 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline, will take the rotation spot vacated by Landen Roupp , who was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Hayden Birdsong was also recently demoted, forcing San

Mauricio delivered a career performance, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and a game-tying solo shot from the bottom of the lineup.

With the Giants' rotation in flux following Hayden Birdsong's demotion and Landen Roupp's injury, manager Bob Melvin announced following Sunday's 5-3 loss to the New York Mets that top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt will start on Monday and make his major-league debut. “We've been waiting for this for a little bit now,” Melvin said.

Mauricio had a career-high four hits, going 4 for 4 with two doubles, two RBIs and a tying homer from the bottom spot in the batting order.

In a flash, the Mets showed the offensive firepower Sunday that gives them a chance for excellence.
