Baseball — Giants Fall Despite Opportunities

The San Francisco Giants opened up the second half of their season with a 4-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. Bumgarner who got the ball for the Giants threw the ball well but gave up 4 runs in 6 innings of work. Andrew Cashner who has struggled this year pitching 7 innings of one run ball. The Giants had their chances to get back into the game despite the 3 run deficit. Brandon Belt and Bruce Bochy (both from the Giants) were both ejected from the game in the 9th. Tomorrow Jeff Samardzia will take the ball for San Francisco while Luis Perdomo gets the ball from the Padres. The Giants have a 5.5 game lead over the Dodgers and will be looking to extend that lead tonight.
