SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants' frustrations on Wednesday night were twofold. There was, of course, the 8-5 loss. They pushed the game to extras with two runs in the bottom of the ninth only for the Miami Marlins to counter with four runs in the 10th inning against closer Camilo Doval. They're now facing the possibility of being swept at home by one of baseball's worst teams. Losses happen. But the Giants are also displeased with the bevy of beanballs they've absorbed in recent days. With Casey Schmitt, Jung Hoo Lee and Dominic Smith getting plunked tonight, the Giants have been hit nine times in their last nine games. Schmitt, who's already filling in for an injured Matt Chapman , had to undergo

The Padres are close to being World Series contenders, but these two trades would put them over the edge in the National League.

The San Diego Padres have made the playoffs in two of the last three seasons. Last year, the Padres lost in the NLDS to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and 2022 saw San Diego lose to the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS. The Padres were in on Rafael Devers before he was traded in division to the San Francisco Giants.

For many San Francisco Giants fans, there has been something missing at Oracle Park. Giants CEO Larry Baer appeared on 95.7 FM The Game earlier this week and was asked about a statue for franchise legend Barry Bonds, who leads Major League Baseball in all-time home runs. It sounded like Baer has been asked the question a lot.

It still feels strange to look at the Boston Red Sox's lineup every day and not see Rafael Devers' name in the two-hole. Devers has now played eight games with the San Francisco Giants after the most controversial trade of the season. If Red Sox fans haven't followed the Giants outside of the two teams' emotionally-charged matchup last weekend, they probably only remember Devers' home run against Brayan Bello to lead the Giants to a win on Saturday.

A pair of relievers turned starters will take the mound when the San Francisco Giants host the Miami Marlins in the finale of their three-game series on Thursday afternoon. Janson Junk is set to make his second straight start following five relief appearances for the Marlins, while Hayden Birdsong will take the ball for the Giants in an effort to prevent a sweep by Miami.

Not the prettiest ball game.

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin defends controversial decision to send Jung Hoo Lee home in crushing 8-5 loss vs. the Miami Marlins.

SAN FRANCISCO -- - Otto Lopez hit the go-ahead RBI single in a four-run 10th inning and the Miami Marlins knocked off the San Francisco Giants 8-5 on Wednesday night to win consecutive series for the first time this season. Lopez's hit off Camilo Doval (3-2) with one out gave the Marlins a 5-4 lead. Heriberto Hernández followed with a two-run double to left-center and he advanced to third on the throw to the plate. Connor Norby's sacrifice fly capped the inning for Miami, which has won three straight. Miami closer Calvin Faucher (3-2) inherited a 4-2 lead in the ninth. Two hit batters and a walk loaded the bases before Willy Adames hit a sacrifice fly to deep left to make it 4-3. Patrick Bailey

Rookie Heriberto Hernandez drove in four runs, including a two-run double in the four-run 10th, helping the visiting Miami Marlins to an 8-5 win against the San Francisco Giants in the middle game of their three-game series on Wednesday night. Hernandez gave the Marlins a 4-2 lead with a two-out two-run single in the eighth. After the Giants tied it in the ninth, he came through again in the 10th.

The comeback efforts were ultimately for naught. The Giants scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to push Wednesday night's ballgame to extras but ultimately lost, 8-5, to the Miami Marlins and are now in danger of being swept at home by one of baseball's worst teams. San Francisco entered the bottom of the ninth inning trailing 4-2, but the Marlins' Calvin Faucher gifted the team a free rally by plunking Dominic Smith and Casey Schmitt with back-to-back pitches, then walking Jung Hoo Lee to load the bases with no outs.

(KRON) — San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds might finally get his own statue outside of Oracle Park. A statue for Bonds is “coming,” Giants CEO Larry Baer said on 95.7 The Game Wednesday. “I would say on the radar, a statue,” Baer said. “Certainly, Barry is deserving of a statue, and I would say […]

The San Francisco Giants have had an outstanding first few months of their 2025 season, looking like one of the most competitive versions the team has seen in quite some time. With a 44-35 record, the team is on a good pace for the postseason, and while their recent sets of series have not been exceptional, they are maintaining second place in the National League West. The difficult part has been some of their offseason acquisitions not quite living up to expectations yet, one of which being Justin Verlander, who, through his first 12 starts with the team, has an 0-5 record tied to his name. There have only been four seasons in Verlander's career where he has gone under .500 as a starter; those are 2005 (his rookie season, only two starts), 2008, 2015, and 2024.
