Giants News
Rafael Devers continues to be the surprising backbone of the Giants, showcasing incredible durability by playing every game this season, but if he’s to maintain that iron man status, some adjustments are necessary. Meanwhile, the Giants made some moves today, recalling catcher Zach Morgan and selecting left-hander Cesar Perdomo, but many fans are left scratching their heads over the underwhelming September call-ups that missed a golden opportunity. In a stark reminder of the pitching woes, Logan Webb faced off against Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes in a game that devolved into a chaotic slugfest, resulting in a disappointing 13-12 loss. As the Giants head into their next match, the focus shifts to shoring up their pitching staff and finding a way to harness the offensive potential that is clearly there, even if it’s often overshadowed by the pitching struggles.
