For now, the Battle of the Bay is on an indefinite hiatus with the Athletics’ pending move to Las Vegas. The series finale proved a fitting end—a pitcher’s duel decided in extra innings.
Blake Snell ($9,800; 28.95 FPTS) continued his sizzling string of starts, consistently locating his fastball and limiting damage with traffic on the basepaths. The southpaw hurled seven quality innings, striking out ten in the process.
San Francisco’s offense was dormant during the first nine frames, with their only run courtesy of a Heliot Ramos ($4,500; 14 FPTS) solo shot in the seventh. The long ball continued to prove a pivotal form of attack for the Giants in extras. Jerar Encarnacion ($3,200; 19 FPTS) and pinch hitter Michael Conforto ($3,800, 14 FPTS) went back-to-back to give the orange and black the edge they needed.
JP Sears ($7,500; 28.45 FPTS) continued being a beacon of light despite his glim situation. The lefty did his best across seven-and-two-thirds innings, fanning nine while only getting charged with one earned run.
The win propels the Giants to 63-63 on the season as they continue their fight for an NL Wildcard berth.
