"It was here, Justin Verlander and Brandon Pfaadt having long departed from the game, that San Francisco emphatically broke the stalemate. Matt Chapman, the automatic runner, advanced to third on a passed ball, then Bryce Eldridge drew a leadoff walk to put runners at the corners, the first time he's reached base in his career. Jerar Encarnacion followed Eldridge's free pass by flipping a single into center field, scoring Chapman and giving San Francisco a 1-0 lead."
"Christian Koss delivered the biggest hit of the afternoon by smoking a double to left-center field. Jung Hoo Lee, pinch-running for Eldridge, scored easily; Encarnacion, hustling off contact, followed right behind. Leading by three runs, San Francisco continued to tack on. Grant McCray, who hadn't had an at-bat since Aug. 16 drove in Bailey with a sacrifice fly. Devers followed McCray by lining a single to left that scored Koss. By inning's end, the Giants owned an emphatic 5-0 lead."
San Francisco scored five runs in the top of the 11th inning to defeat Arizona 5-1, ending a four-game losing streak and preserving a slim playoff chance. Both teams failed to score in the 10th despite advancing the automatic runner. Matt Chapman advanced to third on a passed ball in the 11th, Bryce Eldridge drew a leadoff walk — his first career time on base — and Jerar Encarnacion's single scored Chapman. Patrick Bailey's bloop loaded the bases and Christian Koss hit a double that drove in two. Grant McCray added a sacrifice fly and Devers hit an RBI single. Justin Verlander pitched seven shutout innings and lowered his ERA to 3.75.
