Giants Beat Phillies 3-1 in Series Opener

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 in the opener of their three-game series, highlighted by an eighth-inning rally with key contributions from Casey Schmitt and Matt Chapman. Cristopher Sanchez started for Philadelphia and pitched well, but the Phillies' offense was stifled by Giants pitching and defense. The Giants loaded the bases twice, keeping pressure on the Phillies despite Sanchez's strong outing. Tyler Rogers escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, and Camilo Doval earned his 14th save in the ninth. Casey Schmitt returned from a 10-game absence to drive in the go-ahead run. The victory marked the Giants' third straight win, underscoring their recent improved offense and bullpen performance.
