San Francisco Giants Fall 5-3 to Diamondbacks, Lose Ground in NL Wild-Card Race

The San Francisco Giants struggled in their daytime game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, falling 5-3 and failing to complete a series sweep. Rookie pitcher Carson Seymour had a tough outing, allowing four runs and lasting only 1.1 innings, including a leadoff home run by Geraldo Perdomo. Eduardo Rodriguez of the Diamondbacks pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings, stifling the Giants' offense, which only scored late with a two-run double by Rafael Devers that nearly cleared the ballpark. Despite a late rally attempt in the ninth inning, the Giants could not overcome the early deficit. The loss leaves San Francisco 2.5 games behind the Mets for the final National League Wild Card spot, intensifying their playoff chase. The Giants will look to bounce back in their upcoming series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
