Giants News
The San Francisco Giants are spiraling, and Buster Posey's reminder of 2017 feels all too relevant as they fall to 6-11 after an embarrassing 8-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Rookie Sal Stewart feasted on the Giants' pitching, launching two three-run homers that made the team's lack of depth painfully clear. With Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva heading to the injured list, the outfield retooling is a desperate attempt to shake off the malaise. Tyler Mahle's inability to adjust to Stewart's power only adds to the frustration, as the pitching staff continues to be tested by injuries, leaving them vulnerable against teams like Cincinnati. The Giants have now dropped three of their last four games, and their trajectory is not what anyone had in mind. As the roster struggles to find consistency, the echoes of past failures grow louder.
