One bad inning snaps SF Giants’ win streak at 7 with loss to Reds

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:38:56 GMT

Despite getting the longest outing of the season from Ross Stripling, the Giants weren’t able to capitalize in key spots Wednesday against the Reds and were done in by one bad inning that ultimately spelled an end to their seven-game winning streak.San Francisco put the would-be tying and go-ahead runs on first and second in the eighth inning but, rather than the late-game magic that has been so prevalent of late, it only went down in a string of missed opportunities. The Giants’ 26 come-from-behind wins are the fifth-most in the majors, but it wasn’t in the cards Wednesday night.Luis Matos flew out to end the eighth-inning opportunity, and Reds All-Star closer Alexis Diaz mowed down Blake Sabol, David Villar and Brett Wisely in order to close out the 3-2 win, handing the Giants (54-42) their first loss since the All-Star break. They’ll get another chance to win the four-game series Thursday morning with Alex Cobb on the mound.Stripling went six innings, his ...
