No-hit through 5 innings, the Giants were shutout for the second time this week and fell to 3-5 since returning home from the East Coast
San Francisco Giants’ Tyler Fitzgerald, right, reacts after being called out on strikes during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Oakland Athletics, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. OAKLAND — The good news is the Giants didn’t make any unfortunate history in the penultimate Battle of the Bay.
It took a swinging bunt and one of the fastest dashes up the first-base line by a Giants player this season to avoid the ignominious distinction. Despite getting a runner into scoring position with nobody out and the top of their lineup coming up, the Giants weren’t able to advance McCray 90 feet, let alone the 180 it would have taken to get on the scoreboard. Tyler Fitzgerald watched strike three, LaMonte Wade Jr. popped out to short, and presented with a middle-middle changeup on a 3-1 count, Heliot Ramos rolled over for a soft grounder to short.
Both starters authored shutouts for four innings, until the A’s started the fifth with a pair of singles — only their second and third hits — and Lawrence Butler drove a one-out fly ball deep enough to center to drive home Zack Gelof from third and open a 1-0 lead.
