Giants' Robbie Ray Allows Two Runs in Narrow Mets Loss

The San Francisco Giants have struggled in recent games despite strong performances from their All-Star starting pitchers Logan Webb and Robbie Ray, with the team going 0-4 when one of them pitches since the All-Star break. In their latest 2-1 loss to the New York Mets, Robbie Ray allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings, striking out three, but received little run support from the Giants' offense, which went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Ray's overall season performance remains solid, holding a 2.93 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 22 starts, and his recent starts reflect a return to his strong 2021 form when he won the AL Cy Young Award. The Giants' inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and defensive errors, including Matt Chapman's tenth error of the season, have contributed to their recent downturn, losing eight of their last ten games overall. Despite individual efforts, the team continues to face challenges in converting chances into wins. Mets starter Daniel Peterson also played a key role by navigating several scoring threats despite giving up eight hits and three walks in six innings.
