Orlando Arcia’s walk-off single vs. Camilo Doval ended a matchup of two of the NL’s top teams that lived up to the billing.
ATLANTA — There was good reason to circle this series on the calendar. The defending World Series champions. The 107-win team that missed out on its chance to dethrone them in the playoffs. Even a pregame ring ceremony for the player who switched sides in the offseason.
Staff aces Logan Webb and Max Fried traded zeros almost all game, but it still ended with only the Giants’ 10th loss in the past 40 games with Webb on the mound, which had been the best winning percentage of any team in baseball behind any starter. In the first three batters of the eighth, the Giants had nearly as many men reach base as they did for the first seven innings , loading the bases with no outs and forcing Fried from the game. They trailed 1-0, with the tying run 90 feet away.
Pederson got his chance — and a standing ovation as he stepped to the plate — in the ninth, pinch-hitting against closer Kenley Jansen as the Giants cleared their bench against one of the toughest relievers in the game. He singled and reached third base on a piece of aggressive base running on a single to center from González, but it went to waste as Thairo Estrada and Brandon Crawford struck out to end the inning.
