Latest news and updates about the Giants
The struggling Philadelphia Phillies got a masterful start from Jesús Luzardo Tuesday night. He held the San Francisco Giants to two baserunners and three total bases in seven innings of work, striking out eight including a hat trick of Matt Chapman. The only thing he didn’t go was close, leaving with a five-run lead after […]
In the wake of Rob Thomson’s sacrificial demise as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies (10-19) earlier today, the team put together their most complete win of the season for new boss, Don Mattingly, in a 7-0 dismantling of the San Francisco Giants (13-16). Jesus Luzardo and company held the Giants to two hits and combined […]
The San Francisco Giants head east today to begin a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters today’s game with a 5.26 ERA, 5.78 FIP, with 26 strikeouts to 14 walks in 25.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 3-0 […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Giants: Let’s talk about.
As the Phillies’ 2026 mercifully approaches its conclusion (what’s that? It’s still only April???), they’ll welcome the San Francisco Giants to Citizens Bank Park for a three-game set. The Phillies already took their annual trip to San Francisco and suffered their annual series loss there. The Phillies have traditionally fared better when these teams play […]
Just three weeks ago, the Giants hosted the Philadelphia Phillies in a series I figured was over before it started. As you’ll recall, the Giants sent the Phillies away from Oracle Park in grand style: back to back shutouts. It didn’t exactly send Philadelphia into a tailspin, but after entering the series in San Francisco […]
Good morning, baseball fans! On Saturday, the San Francisco Giants held a ceremony to honor their former first baseman/All Star/Captain/Baby Giraffe, Brandon Belt. Belt played for the Giants for 12 years and was a part of two of the three World Series Championship teams. During that time, he was somehow both severely underrated and a […]
Hey, 13-15… that’s… not so bad, right? The past decade or so of Giants Baseball has — except for that one time — basically conditioned us to expect and embrace mediocrity and here we are, paired again with a familiar friend. That’s actually preferrable to the vibes — nay, the objective reality — that followed […]
It’s another Monday off day for the San Francisco Giants, and another mega recap of a busy weekend for the Minor League Baseball affiliates. Let’s jump into the action for the four teams that are in-season. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the position […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s see what’s on deck. The Giants continue their recent trend of having a day off today, before they hit the road again and head for the East Coast. First up will be a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, before […]
Divisional battles highlighted the week in the National League West. The San Francisco Giants took two of three games against at home the Dodgers, a series in which runs were at a premium, with 10 runs total between the two teams and two shutouts, nobody scoring more than three in any contest. Dalton Rushing was […]
It’s series finale time, and it’s day baseball for the second day in a row as the San Francisco Giants battle the Miami Marlins for the third time. It’s Landen Roupp day for the Giants, as burly righty makes his sixth start of the season. Roupp has been the Giants best pitcher this year, and […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball is coming to a close today, which means it’s time for us to share our favorite highlights of the week! I think this week’s winner is pretty obvious. Patrick Bailey, hitter of walk-off grand slams against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025, got the […]
Casey Schmitt was not pleased with the way the series against Miami was going, as shown by this image below from the 2nd inning of Saturday’s game. Note the expression: the dark shadows under his eyes, his slack-jaw and mouth ajar. Note his posture: the shoulders slumped, his arms thrown over the dugout railing for […]
It’s time for the second game of the series between the San Francisco Giants and the Miami Marlins, and we’re all hoping it goes better than the first one. The Giants are sending veteran lefty Robbie Ray to the mound for his sixth start of the year. The 2021 American League Cy Young Award winner […]
Doubles are cool. This was the major realization I came to half asleep on my couch after the Marlins offense recorded their third lead-off double in as many innings off of Giants starter Adrian Houser. In my groggy state, I continued to muse. Is it better to hit a lead-off double than a lead-off home […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of games this weekend, so it’s time to see everyone’s picks for Player of the Week! I think my pick for this week has to be Landen Roupp. Roupp is quietly having a very good start to the season, and the team […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Miami Marlins to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Adrian Houser, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.40 ERA, 4.44 FIP, with 11 strikeouts to seven walks in 21.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
Maybe the Giants won’t have such a bad season? That’s certainly on the table. Not just because they humiliated the Los Angeles Dodgers this week, but because they really have been playing slightly better over the past couple of weeks (8-6 since April 7th). And, yes, that’s because some of the key contributors have started […]
It’s really hard to write a preview about the Miami Marlins after the San Francisco Giants took two out of three from the Dodgers. That series was the ultimate RETVRN to tradition in that the Giants overcame their longstanding Giantsness to actually dominate the Dodgers for 18 innings of the series. It’s a staggering embarrassment […]
On Wednesday night, the Dodgers suffered their first shutout loss of the year by falling 3-0 to the San Francisco Giants. On Thursday, the Dodgers returned the favor and shut the Giants out by the exact same final score. Only Luis Arraez could break through Tyler Glasnow on Thursday, as the right-hander dominated through eight […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants welcome the Miami Marlins to town today for a three-game series. So let’s take a look at what Oracle Park has on deck for fans attending the games this weekend. First up, we’re calling CalBear to the front on this one because tonight is Cal Night. Fans […]
The series was already in hand. LA had just scored one run over the past 18 innings. Shohei Ohtani’s on-base streak snapped. Aftershocks from Patrick Bailey’s game-winning, three-run shot on Wednesday night were still reverberating around Oracle. San Francisco’s previous wins gave them a commanding two game advantage over LA over 2,597 head-to-head match-ups. So […]
It took three games for the Dodgers to find any semblance of offense in San Francisco, and they managed to beat the Giants best starter to do it, salvaging a game behind a dominant Tyler Glasnow on getaway day Thursday in a 3-0 win at Oracle Park. Glasnow allowed only a single and a walk, […]
Dodgers offense has nowhere to go but up in this series. Thursday game info
